      Pros

      It was a joy working with the children. The employees were understanding and made the environment to work in, a good one.

      Cons

      Not many cons, just the fact that as a camp counselor you'd have to be pretty active during the summer and sometimes you're just tired.

      I worked at Catholic Charities USA full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Great people to work with who care about serving the mentally ill.

      Cons

      Management obsessed with getting your "numbers", the time you spend with your clients. Because of this, workers get behind in the paperwork. You cannot do 10 hours of work in 8 hours,
      I heard that last spring 2016, that the pressure on numbers were eased, and all employees were given a raise, the first in almost 10 years.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your staff. Let them solve their problems on their own, and don't be so quick to shoot them down. Give praise besides criticism.

    5. "Youth Worker"

      I worked at Catholic Charities USA full-time

      Pros

      the kids were awesome with lost of opportunities to engage with youth and build team capacity. Lots of resources and opportunities for the kids to expand and explore different interests.

      Cons

      The site was disorganized, there is not a clear chain of command to follow. Many times workers worked beyond their contractual time but were not compensated. Very uncomfortable environment. Limited opportunities to move up on site.

      Advice to Management

      Get new managers at your sites. Ones that are fair and just and care more about the youth rather than their personal agendas.

      Pros

      Slow. People leave you alone as long as you get your work done.

      Cons

      No room for growth. They never give you a raise.
      Management doesn't care about support staff or any staff at all. I saw my manager 3 times in 2 years. Poor training. They never want to hear from you and when you reach out they write you up.

      Advice to Management

      Be a manager! Manage your employees.
