The Key Program reviews

Some staff at key I had worked with were abusive to the child clients I felt them to be inappropriate. The managers hides abusive behavior all around. I worked their for 5 years and felt the only reason I stayed was obligation not to abandon those poor kids. When I brought it up to the management a staff had punched a child and damage the child leg after he fell and twisted it I was outraged and reported it to management again but they decided to go against me due to the abuser used the race card plus the abuser was my supervisor who on my first day let me know how she felt about white people and it wasn't loving... what a great start to my employment. I'm not saying the kids are angels I know their a challenge but their are correct ethical humane ways to go about it, and that's were Key Program really lacks because the management thinks their better and wont oversea there organization, and has no human contact with staff or clients. its to beneath them. But they do have trainings classes on CIP and none violent restraining and CPR in a day but that's about it your off to go... The sad part they let me go on Christmas and said my two year contract was up but I was their over five years. crazy thing a few years later they asked me if I would like to come back lol a definite no go. still to this day I feel haunted and bad about the kids I left alone their. This all happened back in 2010 and according to the posts I see on here the bad management continues.

No protection for the direct care staff and 100% makes you feel expendable. Employees are hurt, ignored when real life issues come up outside of work, and management could give two craps about why you're calling out. Their concern is to make you feel bad about missing a shift, then putting it on you to find a replacement. No recognition for staff who go above and beyond. Priorities are way out of control and it seems management are more willing to keep the dead weight and push out the knowledgeable staff just to have bodies to watch the girls.
