Behaven Kids Reviews

You are told you make your own schedule, but that is based on when parents are available to meet. You start out on the floor with minimal training in how to assist children with intensive behaviors and are hit, bit, slapped, kicked, spit on, etc. and left alone in a time out room by yourself with up to four children for hours on end, until there are enough staff to relieve you. You are expected to meet their 25 direct billing hours/week quota and fill in for the receptionist during his/her lunch break and floor staff's lunch breaks, in addition to your high caseload administrative tasks. Therapeutic groups consist of 8-10 kids ages 4 to 10 with intense violent conduct. Children ages 2-10 share same eating, playtime, learning areas in which older children physically abuse younger children who are unable to defend themselves. If your child did not have a traumatic brain injury before entering this facility, they may leave with one. Parents are upset their children are not cared for properly and management will give you no notification of prior complaints/circumstances and expect you to conduct damage control and lie to make them look good. You will complete documentation at home in order to meet all demands and your home/work life balance is negatively impacted.

Owners micro-manage everything, promise raises and bonuses but rarely give them, pay is way lower than the industry average, owners talk negatively about staff who have left- even those who did a lot for their organization and left on good terms, lots of empty promises and morale issues, lots of turnover, keep piling on additional work and responsibilities without additional compensation
