Shut down - Residential Counselor I Corbett Group Homes Employee Review

Anti/corrupt agency. Truly worked for the best interest of the children.

No downsides to report for Corbett Group Homes.

+Supporting the mission/vision of the company. +Fulfilling work helping at-risk youth and their families reach their goals. +CEO is fully aware and open about the concerns the employees bring up and always seeks to make improvements in all areas of services her company provides. +Great experience to build upon toward a career in social work/human services. +Regular weekly staff meetings.

-Pay: very low offer even with education & relevant experience. Had one paycheck bounce, but the payment to include all fees was ready to be picked up immediately after I notified the office (next business day). -Residents can be extremely difficult at times and let out their frustration on Staff and other bystanders verbally and physically. (Mandatory training does a great job explaining how to handle these situations) -Work environment is dependent on how well you and your co-workers communicate and work together. With such a high turnover rate, it's difficult to harness a strong, stable, cohesive team work environment. -Work hours can be extremely demanding depending on staffing needs (difficult to keep up with the unpredictable waves of turnover in this field). Which places a huge burden on permanent staff to cover these shifts until it's filled by another new hire.
