non-profit does not mean without problems - Special Educator ChildStrive Employee Review

Great work life balance, supportive team, I loved working with the community

During a transition period there was a heavy amount of caseloads

ChildStrive puts in an effort to have values and principles that support employee wellbeing, although some programs or benefits miss the mark.

The Unlimited Paid Time Off benefit is tricky because leadership does not model taking much actual vacation time, but rather models it as a flexible work schedule. Because of low pay, if you have a spouse or second income you can afford to work here, but it is very hard to do so as a single parent. While ChildStrive has certain guiding principles like Restorative Practices they do not always live up to modeling this with their own staff. Depending on which department you are hired into there is not much room for growth and not a lot of interest in developing each employee.
