Pros

-Free housing, free food -Not care for another person. This job will exhaust you physically and mentally if you give at all for another person.

Cons

-Long hours (you are required to report 30 minutes before the boys wake up, so your hours for the day are 6:30 am to 10 pm, but you will be up until at least 11 pm doing paperwork. Sometimes 1 AM. But that doesn't matter, you're getting paid the same as someone who does not do their notes) and you will be away from home for 2 to 3 nights straight. If you do the math, you're working for more than 40 hours a week and not getting paid for it. Do not fall for the "you work 3 days one week and 4 days the next", you are working 5 days a week. -Do not qualify for benefits, because the company doesn't consider you full-time. The weird hours and not clocking hours helps hide the fact you're being overworked and underpaid. The starting salary is $25,000 without a degree, $28,000 with a degree, and $30,000 with a Masters. Watch your first and second paycheck, management will try to put you at 25,000 regardless of education. -The therapists are above you and do not listen to anyone. You may report abuse or strange behavior to the therapist, but it is meaningless. Should have jumped shipped, when the handbook says that abuse is not to be reported outside the company. -Parents pay $5,500 a month to send their son here. There is about 25-35 boys on property every month. 25*5500= 137,500*12 = 1,650,000 a year. The minimum stay is 3 months, and most boys are that 6 to 9 months. Some are kept for over a year. This place makes bank yet, the internet is slow, the computers are broken and outdated, most of the equipment is broken, and the therapists are all student interns. -There is no moving forward in this place. Out of all of the Direct Care, two have been there for over 6 months. One past a year. The rest of direct care has been there 6 months or less. The administration staff has been there for since the founding of the place in 2005. The therapists have been there for years, but they're all interns. The teachers have been there for less than 2 years.

Pros

Seeing the boys grow and mature into young men. Watching the young men become brothers and seeing their families healing with every visit. Staff and residents become family and build a really strong bond that last a lifetime. The ranch its self is beautiful and very peaceful at times unlimited views to be inspired by.

Cons

The staff is primarily men if your a women applying please beware the accommodations are not female friendly. You will also at times feel you've stepped into a good ole boy situation. Pay isn't the best considering the fact your on the clock 24/7 basically and if you live in Austin that drive is no joke.
