      Cannot Recommend Working Here

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      It's a job, I guess

      Cons

      This place is a mess. It's run by someone who doesn't seem to understand effective management principles. There is little to no training, and expectations are not clear. You are not really held to the expectations anyway. I don't feel that they serve their clients effectively, which is sad, as they serve Bay Area youth. There is a revolving door of staff turnover and the pay is well below competitive. WELL below.

      Good place to get first experience in mental health... that's about it

      Residential treatment counselor

      Pros

      Easy to get hired in the group home. Working with teens is fun. Opportunity for training and learning crisis intervention skills. Good way to get an overview of the how the foster care system works.

      Cons

      I worked there when it was Sunny Hills Services. Complete inept management. Counselors were treated like crap. We were told "you should all find better jobs and not stay here more than a year"
