Pros

One of the best reasons to work for Rite of Passage was the people that worked here. Many of my co-workers were passionate about their jobs and were in school to further their education. Another benefit of the job was that you were able to stay in good physical shape because you had to supervise the inmates while working out.

Cons

Where do I begin?! Do you value a place where you are underpaid, the supervisors rarely take anything you say seriously, where your COWORKERS are physically assaulted (not to mention suffer physical and cognitive trauma) and not re-compensated, where upper management does not care about your well being and you are constantly concerned for your physical and emotional safety? THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!!!! DO NOT WORK HERE!!! RUN!!!!

Pros

Rewarding to work with the kids and help them succeed in the program. The kids are quite frankly the only positive of this job.

Cons

management will be your biggest obstacle. They simply don't care, they will gladly start a witch hunt if they believe you might have said something. Management is insanely toxic and typically doesn't help the coaches in any regards. I've seen a supervisor continue to play basketball with the kids when a coach was frantically requesting their assistance on the radio. They replied "I'll be right there" and then never left the gym. The type of kids housed under this program are not prepared for the strange academy style environment and thus coaches will be struggling with kids who do not belong there and trying to follow their strange procedures. Overall, its a horrible place to work. Management is unhelpful, apathetic, biased and toxic. Coaches are overworked, undertrained and underpaid with 12 hour shifts. This facility has high turnover rates for a reason but they will claim that "they just weren't cut out for the job" rather than admit they foster a horrible working environment run by horrible people.
