Pros

-The kids are the best -Free lunch -Lots of opportunity to learn crisis intervention techniques -If you are planning to go into the mental health field and work with at-risk youth , this is the place for you -Lots of opportunity for overtime

Cons

-If you have negative, burnt-out co-workers they can make the environment toxic -Better pay attention at training how to de-escalate situations and have solid safety holds because these children are there for a reason and there is a possibility you can get hurt -Needed better resources to support staffs mental health because I saw a lot of my coworkers get burnt out and it affected their care of the kids

Pros

Culture has transformed dramatically from toxic to accountable, clear, and kind over a decade Strong leadership development (Gallup, Dare to Lead frameworks) Weekly 1:1 supervision means employees know their supervisors well Real internal mobility entry level to director is achievable based on work ethic Mission-driven workforce, people genuinely care about the kids and families they serve High retention most people want to stay and grow within, even when their current role isn't ideal, they will move positions to stay Respectful, psychologically safe environment all opinions welcome Excellent medical/dental/vision benefits; decent 403b match Positive social environment with systems that naturally filter out toxic behavior over time Competitive pay within the nonprofit/mental health sector

Cons

Pay is significantly below for-profit market rates. nonprofit pay scale is a real tradeoff Director role is highly unstructured can feel chaotic, especially in 24/7 locations requiring after-hours work Toxic employees can linger too long the kindness and grace extended to everyone delays removal Some employees stay in roles that aren't a good long-term fit simply because they love the culture Heavy meeting load at director level can crowd out focused, strategic work
