nights/overnights are from 2pm to 6am the next day, scheduling is not done well, and the company's HQ does not put an emphasis on worker safety. My manager was not interested in teaching me how the house is ran, every house has its own system in place on how to run procedures and HQ doesnt seem to mind. back to the issue with my ex manager, on my first day on the job i was tasked with taking 5 clients on a trip by myself...i had no training, i had no rapport with the clients, nor did i even know their names but yet i was tasked to take 5 teenagers on a trip..i understand that the house was understaffed but letting the rookie take 5 teenage boys with history of mental issues and/or convictions for crimes (murder/abuse/drugs) on a trip by himself without any real training is a recipe for disaster/

Low pay, low promotion trajectory, some employees try to get you fired over doing your job, inconsistent hours, high employee turnover (quitting), bad employees do not get fired, requires bachelors degree for low pay. Violent kids. Corporate gets more perks and benefits for less work. No weekends. Works 16 hour shifts with no compensation or OT. Cant sleep on overnights even with other staff spiting it up (Other group homes allow this) Screws over long term employees by taking all sick time when they get sick on the job. Very cliquey, do not expect to fit in too well. Cannot get benefits until you have been with the company for a year, so do not get sick or pregnant during this time. Low vacation time. Difficult to call in sick with low staff.
