Pros
Flexible work schedule Gain good experience Rewarding helping students make progress Other staff are fun to talk to Directors willing to write letters of recommendation and set goals for gaining degrees Some small ways to move up in the company On the whole, an okay treatment program and staff genuinely try to help as much as possible. Clinical Director
Cons
Upper management/ Directors are disconnected from the day-to-day and feed you lines. Play favorites and don't hold some people accountable Executive, life skills, and student living directors are dismissive or punitive when issues are brought up Stressful work environment Bad work/ life balance and support Below market value pay (Less than 35k a year), especially for Bachelor's degrees (though they think they are competitive) Expensive benefits Poor PTO accrual rates HR is only there to protect the company and is borderline unethical Low raises, only offered once a year (max 4% which doesn't keep up with inflation) Starting pay for life coaches has been the same for years despite inflation Life coaches are having literal mental breakdowns and need their own in-patient treatment.
