Pros

Health Insurance plan is pretty good. Great coworkers.

Cons

Extremely stressful work environment. You will have to deal children struggling with severe behavioral issues, which is part of the job. However, the company does not compensate well. Management and administration doesn't seem to care about their employees. No breaks. You will have to work 16 hour days. Work holidays. Agency talks about the importance of self-care but doesn't deliver. Employees getting injured. Lack of support. Extremely high turnover rate.

We appreciate your comments. There are a variety of factors that keep people employed at Sarah Reed, and one of them is the support of their coworkers and work teams. With several sites and programs throughout Erie and surrounding communities, employees will have different experiences with regard to the behavioral needs of the children and adolescents being served. As a result, compensation and work schedules also vary by program, with something to meet each employee's needs. We agree that work-life balance is critical, and have made solid steps to improve the pay scale, and add positions to better support staffing.
