Pros

Very easy job, quite a lot of down time, great for a student putting them-self through school which is what I did.

Cons

They gave the overnight staff a different job title so that they don't have to give them a shift differential. The Behavioral Health Technicians make $11.25-11.75/hr and the overnight staff make $10/hr. In addition communication is very poor. If HR needs something they don't send you an email or use inter office mail or call you, they send mail to your house, which is very inefficient. It also takes HR so long to go through the process of the background check and getting all of their paperwork together, it will easily be at least a month, probably closer to two to actually start working once you've submitted your application. You never see your house supervisor and get average reviews because they never see the work you do. The company claims to have a 75% success rate in treating addiction, when anyone who has ever worked in addiction knows that is impossible and untrue. There are also no raises ever. The training is maybe a few days of on the job training before you are thrown to the wolves. If you're lucky you will work in a facility that has two staff working at a time, if not, you will be by yourself completely.
