Dangerous - Youth and Family Counselor Sweetser Employee Review

Youth and family counselor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the Unit staff try to make it a good place.

Cons

Any manager or leader is under thumbnail of upper "leadership" - kids can assist staff and each other, destroy property and harm self - send to ER (sometimes) only to return a few hours later. It is not safe. My concussion was witnessed by two others but still no consequences- "you should have ducked"
