Dropping Like Flies - Shelter Staff Phoenix Youth Programs Employee Review

Great environment to work in.

None that I can think of at this time.

Great learning environment for new social workers. You get to work with youth from a wide array of backgrounds and with complex needs. Develop case-management skills. Management is usually good with supervision/ offering support during or after crisis situations.

Fast paced work environment with little time for breaks. Often crisis-situations. Emotionally challenging due to having to discharge youth and lack of second stage housing options available. High turn-over rate due to burnout and lack of adequate staffing. Lots of cooking and cleaning. No increase in pay for awake overnights.
