Pros

Inclusive toward students who identify as gay, the jury is out regarding those who identify as transgender or non-binary, The clients are interesting, complicated and challenging sometimes The academic program is solid

Cons

The place is run like a small prison, using outdated behavioral modification techniques, public shaming, attack therapy. I did not have a degree in counseling yet they assured me I would only be helping out in therapeutic ways. Instead,they expected me to provide one on one counseling with the boys there. I quit because it was unethical and illegal. Do not send your son here. The boys are treated like convicts who have no humanity.

Pros

The kids are the only pro to this job.

Cons

Overworked, under paid, and under appreciated are just a few of the cons of this horrific job. The owners and management are just plain horrible. They could care less about the staff or kids. I used to work multiple 16 hour days a week and not once was I thanked, I was just asked for more. The only time anyone will ever talk to you is to tell you how you did something they did not approve of. I literally have the same degree as the owners and I was treated like I did not even have a high school degree. I spent more time with the boys than anyone else but my thoughts and opinions meant nothing. Staff that should have been fired were promoted bc they played into the workplace garbage. Want to talk about drugs? Sure. Teach them about drugs? Masterbation? How to extend ejaculation? Give them access to pornography? Or lose a kid or two? Hate kids? Be out of ratio? Want to sleep with other staff? Dress provocative for work with teenage boys? Out kids sexuality to parents? Break HIPAA? Expect a promotion soon, these are all examples of current staff, management and owners.
