Great place to work but could be improved greatly.
Pros
There are some amazing people here who truly care about the children here. Administration encourages staff to further education and Cal Farley's has an incredible tuition assistance program for staff to utilize.
Cons
Filling beds seems more important than keeping good house parents. Living in the same house when you are off duty makes it impossible to disconnect and have a separation of work and personal life. The pressure to have all the kids with electronics and cell phones with no real expectations or boundaries makes an extremely stressful environment for the house parents and it creates more drama between the residents on campus. The rotating schedule for House Parents is very difficult. The budget constraints resulted in staff not getting raises the next few years. That is a big let down.
