Would not recommend - Youth Worker EGADZ Employee Review

Working with the youth is rewarding Not 10-12 hour shift work like other group homes

Micro management is out of control, the supervisors and upper management are belittling and passive aggressive they love writing people up Turnover is very high because poor management and poor training The kids deserve better. Staff is overloaded with other tasks like van maintenance and landscaping the homes that takes away from their engagement. Mental gymnastics to try fit everything in to one shift

Work alone, able to create your own plans with youth, go on outings. Meaningful work - great youth! Meals provided

No training for staff Management are all friends outside of work, conflict of interest. Abuse of power from management/supervisors. Lack of consistency. Rules apply to staff in an unfair way and based on favouritism. Supervisors dont support staff decisions when dealing with high risk youth, place blame on staff, and have unrealistic expectations (ex: when you call for additional support they tell you to offer tea to a suicidal youth who is having a mental breakdown). No debriefing after traumatic events staff are exposed to. Policies that dont make sense, punished when asking questions or making suggestions. A supervisor still working there who exposed his private parts to staff. Low wage No sense of work community/support.
