        Unique population of kids and some amazing coworkers.

        Terrible management. Decisions are all made off-campus by people who do everything in their power to avoid interacting with the kids.

          Pros

          TBS is a good work for new workers entering the field looking to gain experience. Flexible schedule is a plus and I was able to work there while getting my Master degree. I would recommend.

          Cons

          Cases can be difficult, alot of driving, low pay unless you pick up more case loads which can be overwhelming

              4 day work weeks with option to pick up additional days.

              Cons

              Limited support from clinicians. Expressed concerns related to youth were not given priority in resident decision making. Clinicians are far removed from the homes and do not take the recommendations from house staff as seriously as they should.

                Pros

                -Having break through moments with clients and supporting them along their journey... if they are open to it. -The support for, most, other Frontline staff. -Building rapport with clients -being there for the clients through thick and thin. -Making the clients laugh or smile.

                Cons

                -There are some clicks that form with staff. If you are not in with them, they can stir the pot, so to say. -The clients can sometimes become aggressive and attack staff/clients or do minor/major property destruction. - Favoritism, Favoritism, Favoritism with in staffing ranks. -The job description they give did not list cooking, and weekly cleaning audits(at least when I applied. It may be different now), and bi-weekly home transports that could take the entire shift to pick up and drop off client(s). Some times it's 8 hours of driving... by yourself. -Parents do not always support the clients' programs and make things... even more challenging. -One employee could get fired over something and another employee does the same thing, but nothing happens to them. - They will work you to death if you let them. If you want then OT then you will get a lot of it. If you don't you have to set your boundaries.

                  Pros

                  Great team of people to work with. Clients have a variety of diagnoses which is great for learning. Create your own schedule and very family oriented organization.

                  Cons

                  Procedures are always changing and work hours change depending upon the time of year. Supervision can be chaotic and interventions are not always discussed.

                    Cons

                    No raise and almost no opportunity to move up unless u shine amongst 100 employees.

                      The director of operations and CEO are great. Lots of hours if you need to work overtime. The kids are amazing, and it's a blessing to be a part of their lives.

                      Cons

                      not great pay, but that come with the territory.

                        Pros

                        Working with boys in small groups of 8 was very rewarding.

                        Cons

                        For a businesses that wanted 4 yr degrees that did not give anything in return. The program required No real training, no program to fellow other than a poster of the ideal program, and they do not even fellow its core or belong to it as an affiliate. Residents have no rules just do your best.

                      Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!

                      What is a normal/common resume length for c2c/consultant roles in tech? What about a fte resume? My contract role resume used to be 5-6pages, this was 4years ago, prior to covid. Not sure if this is still a norm. Meanwhile my fte resume is concise, 2pages long. I have 10years of exp for reference.
