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 This place makes bank yet, the internet is slow, the computers are broken and outdated, most of the equipment is broken, and the therapists are all student interns.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

Some of the kids are alright.

Cons

Parents can be rude. Upper management is a joke and very rude. I was told to lie for the company if I was asked about a "former" employee that worked there. Don't pay me enough for that. Hours are crazy. You technically only get paid for 80 hours every 2 weeks but, technically work 168.

Pros

Resolution Ranch works with troubled teen boys. It's a residential facility out of Cameron, Texas. They offer a lot of freedom when it comes to taking suggestions for improvement. The employees tend to be very tight nit. Knowing you are helping change the lives of young men is a great benefit.

Cons

The distance can be challenging for some. However, the ranch understands this and tries to make up for any inconvenience.
