Pros
Healthcare is the best. Services (including specialty clinics & surgery) are provided to employees and their dependents whom are on the boystown health insurance and who use a Boystown provider to do the services. Great staff and management. This is the other job I’ve had where I can talk to my manager in a way that makes me feel like we're friends and not being constantly monitored and watched for mistakes.
Cons
I like aittle ways away, but it's worth it in the end.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are proud to be able to offer amazing benefits such as our health care services to our even more amazing employees!
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Really fun place to work. Staff really care about the children and families. Staff feels like comrades and partners. Great training provided and management support. Provides school support. Lots of opportunities to get promoted, but you HAVE to be willing to re-locate.
Cons
Like any non-profit, local Boys Towns are under-resourced. If you are management expect to wear many hats. Expect to have long days. The organization really prides itself on ensuring staff take care of themselves, but you will often be asked to give up a lot of your weekends and personal time. This isn't to say the organization is bad, truly, I loved the place. Pay is low, but it's better than most non-profts will pay you. When they changed the health benefits a lot of parents suffered from the changes. They also pay you on a strange schedule. It isn't bi-weekly, but it would have been far better if it was set up this way. A lot of burnout, but it's hard work and just simply the nature of the beast.

Pros
Pros: working with kids, awesome relationship with co-workers, fast-paced work environment, great benefits, great experience in the field, extremely rewarding job that can be a lot of fun due to the amount of activities that are planned for the kids
Cons
Cons: The biggest con would bethe high turnover rate. It seems that many people take the job without realizing what it entails and subsequently don't stay longer than 1-2 years. The other con would be administration. Your direct managers/supervisors that work on the floor with you are amazing but the current program directors in both buildings are known for not appreciating their employees enough or effectively communicating with them.

We appreciate your review and feedback! Your role as a Behavioral Health Technician is not only great experience, but it truly makes a positive impact. We want you to feel supported in your role, and we understand that with turnover and leadership those are two big pieces of support and feeling appreciated. For leadership, our training team provides information, tools, forms and resources for managers and supervisors to assist with managerial duties. We also recently raised the starting pay for Behavioral Health Technicians to include a shift differential, as our compensation team is continuously evaluating our packages in comparison to other employers in our metro area as well as our industry. If you have additional feedback on how we can support you, please reach out to our team at feedback@boystown.org.

It’s a job where you can use your whole heart helping kids. It can be family friendly as you can care for your family infused with the job.
Cons
Easy to get burnt out, high staff turnover, some youth’s behaviors in the program can make your family feel unsafe. Admin disconnected from on the ground employees which creates lack of understanding/empathy.

Thanks for leaving a review and for making a huge difference in the lives of children as a Family-Teacher. We understand that you may have faced challenges due to the children you cared for may have had serious behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems. We appreciate your patience, compassion and perseverance when things were not going well. This is a rewarding and sometimes daunting task, but we want you to know that as Family-Teachers you are never alone. As you mentioned, there are many tangible benefits for a Family-Teaching Couple – a home, competitive salary, insurance and being able to work together. But the intangibles are what truly make being a Family-Teacher worthwhile. If you would like to provide any additional feedback or advice to management, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team at feedback@boystown.org.
