Pros

More than enough free trainings to maintain licensure, vision/mission worthy of support, skilled clinical staff who care and are passionate about the work

Cons

Poor leadership at director and executive director levels, mixed messages about expectations, lack of transparency, compensation well below industry standards, top-down command-and-control leadership approaches that are presented as "helping" staff, no autonomy surrounding scheduling or case load management, high pressure and focus on meeting productivity standards which are not based on industry standard measures - overwhelming, burnout and turnover high, morale low, always cutting corners that sacrifice quality care, poor reputation in the community both organizationally and specifically directors, tattling among support staff is encouraged, lots of passive aggression, manipulation and enmeshment within directorships, no supervision for licensure, rigid adherence to outdated, silly policies, capricious decision-making with no effort given to collaborating with supervisors or direct care staff.

Pros

I believe the folks at the Operations Center really do mean well and want to put the kids and families first. The trainings were always excellent.

Cons

My time at Pressley Ridge was fairly toxic. I worked in residential. The employees and management struggled to see eye-to-eye and the tension was palpable at times. I'm grateful I got out when I did.

Pros

Overtime is always available. Schedule is typically for full-time is 4.5 days off, 2.5 days of work.

Cons

Terrible communication between team, team leaders, and supervisors. Breaks required by law are rarely given, resulting in you working 16 straight hours. Little to no sleep during residential (overnight) shifts. ZERO training on procedures (paper work, case notes, transporting youth, etc). Schedule can permanently change without your authorization or notification. The sales pitch by staff made the job seem better than what it really is. Understaffed, little support from MTCs (supervisors), inconsistency with adherence to policy and procedure, and the clients (troubled teenagers) are there not to work on bettering themselves but solely because of a court order and agreed to terms so they don't go to higher level detentions.
