Good experience in behavioral health for right out of college but ONLY temporary and must be prepared to work with very aggressive kids. Other than that, I don’t recommend. LOW pay, especially for dealing with kids who can hit, kick, bite, spit, pee, cuss, etc. at you. If you’re not a therapist, watch out because they’ll treat you like a peasant. VERY HIGH turnover rate, be ready for people to constantly quit and having to pick up the slack.

This company has a LONG history of taking advantage of young college students and then overpaying management and admin where some have lower degrees than them. If you think being a loyal employee or working there for a long time will get you a raise, forget about it. Ageism, toxic work culture, and favoritism. They have a “no gossip” policy but the “LEADERS”, are the biggest gossipers. They are 2-faced and will talk behind ALL employee’s backs and laugh about it together. If you have a different opinion than any of them, watch out because they will get upset and retaliate. It’s also a very small office so the gossip in general is just rampant and there have been cases or bullying where management does not handle it correctly. If the main “leader” is “mad” at you just because you simply shared your opinion or disagreed with them, they will ignore your existence completely or call you out in front of other management or colleagues to try to make you feel inferior. Management will twist any narrative they want out of any situation to make them look best – like an awesome staff member just simply speaking up for themselves will be twisted into management saying they are the worst. This work environment is immature, unprofessional, and honestly mean spirited due to management. It is beyond sad that a behavioral health facility for kids has this type of work environment for the staff working so hard to help kids and families. Management is also too scared to approach certain staff for being too aggressive (verbally or physically) with the kids, but will reprimand other staff for the smallest things. Again – LOTS of favoritism.
