Pros

I have loved the opportunities for job advancements throughout the years. I immensely enjoy working with our wonderful yet challenging youth. I have appreciated the generous benefits the company has had to offer me.

Cons

I am extremely disappointed in the new direction that management has changed since the passing of David. Favor. I have observed a strong sense of disloyalty, disrespect, and overall unfairness to numerous employees,

Pros

Working with severely emotionally disturbed children gives you a chance to make a difference in the lives of these kids. If money is not your decisive factor in choosing your career, but helping people or children is; then a job that is challenging yet rewarding like this one can be beneficial and a good fit for you. If you can keep your morals and values strong, even when challenged, you will find that this can be a positive learning experience that is spiritually enriching.

Cons

Very high turnover rate, for a reason. The hours are long and grueling. The pay is not satisfactory for the services and flexibility you are expected to deliver. Administration and management are quite dishonest, and will lie and cheat in order to come out on top. The values of the agency are not held up as they are defined. It is a frustrating experience when you realize that the agency you work for is not really doing their job or part in order to help these kids; money seems to be the all powerful motivator (as it is in most aspects of the world today). The majority of people in this job for the long run are jaded and no longer in it for the right reasons. I have seen rules broken, laws broken, kids mistreated, employees not supported, and worse.

Pros

I worked for Victor for over 6 years full time. Overall I enjoyed my time with the company despite the many stressful situations I was placed in. I mostly spent my time away from the administration, and that helped me last with this employer. They also have an incredible vacation policy. I was getting almost 7 weeks of vacation a year. The school is the best part of working for Victor. The school setting despite having a revolving door for the principal, was the best part of Victor, and as a result had the least amount of employee turnover.

Cons

The pay for the floor staff is incredibly low for the amount of abuse an individual will take, thus leading to the extremely high turnover of the floor staff. There isn't much growth opportunities for most employees, and the growth that can be experienced leads to salary positions where you work so much overtime that you would be better off working as a floor staff for hourly wages. Management is extremely horrible, dishonest, and sub par. They don't listen to the staff, and are running the agency into the ground. This agency was once a great place to work, and had great family values. Now it's simply about greed, and money. Not a friendly environment to work in. As a result the company is understaffed, and when they get people, they don't stay very long. Further, the lack of staff creates an unsafe work environment.
