Resource Treatment Center

When I was there, there was alot of pettiness. Family members worked with  each other there. Some of them were supervisors who picked favorites. If you were not a favorite, the  would mandate you  to work the second shift. There  never was a planned schedule  for the children. When the got bored they would act out. If a child attacked you, Child Services would believe you over them. The pay would never increase. Second shift was paid more than first and third shift. In the boys  dorms,  male staff would horseplay with kids ( I was told in staff that that was a no no). The building is not that secure. The county jail downtown is more secure than that facility. A child could kick out the back or even front door of the room an they could escape the facility. On one occasion, when I attempted to write of a kid when they kicked out of their dorm,  a supervisor actually told me that I could  say in my report that nothing  the kid did not " leave  their area without permission." It undermined my any authority I had in front of the child that was in trouble. When you care more about holding  kids accountable than some of the supervisors, it isn't worth being there.

Assisting clients day to day policy and procedures of the treatment facility, daily living skills such as, hygiene, keeping living area clean, faciliting groups with clients daily, assisting new co-workers how to attend to the clients needs to be successful on a daily basis. 
I learned that management at R.T.C. Resource was keeping the numbers of beds with in the facility full, even when the clients did not fit the treatment plans.
The hardest part of the job, is the inconsistency of the facility following their own policy and procedures for the employees and clients. Having to do physical take downs on clients who become violent and dangering themselves or others.
The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to watch the clients evolve from a non-trusting client to a trusting client with only certian staff, which included myself. Clients being discharged from  the treatment facility successfully.

Not a good place to work at all, they take your whole life away having you work like a slave and they believe the residents over the staff even when there is video proof from the cameras. The pay is ridiculous and we do not get raises at all. No support from upper management at all and if you are a direct care staff they really don't care about you they let the kids abuse staff. Hit and spit on us and say we can't press charges knowing we have residents over 18 years of age in the building, Its a few sick staff members who are sleeping with some of the kids and RESOURCE has yet to terminate those individuals and also if you are a parent and your child has expressed to you how this place is and how they are not helping them please believe your child and get your babies out of here because some residents are in here for no reason parents just wanted to show them tough love. Save your child

It's not a terrible place to work, but there is a high turn over rate and not much room for growth. The HR team is anti-social and never answers their phones and rarely call people back.  They expect the employees to do a lot for themselves rather than helping them.  (You are a current employee and need proof of employment because you're buying a new home or signing a new lease?  Sorry, they won't help.  They use a third party company that requires you or the person verifying your employment to pay a fee just to prove whether you work there are not.  RIDICULOUS!)  There are many good therapists at the facility, but poor management drives them away time and time again.  The pay is low if you are not clinical or administration, and you never receive more that a 2% increase.  The rules change CONSTANTLY, and while that can be said of many work environments, it's hard to keep up.  Medical benefits are too expensive, but dental and vision are affordable.

The concept of the programs offered here are ideal and would be beneficial to the population served if the management teams were stronger and more competent.  There is a lot of confusion with job titles and overall roles.  There is a huge lack of communication across the board and little to no support among leadership or within respective teams.  The residents are given a false sense of entitlement and treat staff as if they are the employees for them.  Staff is not properly trained to address the behaviors or mental health diagnosis for the residents and it becomes an atmosphere of treating them like caged animals.  There needs to be better support for both staff and the residents in order to create a more cohesive environment that will support the success of all.

Some good days some bad like every job. They show favoritism when it comes to moving up in the company, so if you're not in the little circle you will likely not advance even if you qualify for a higher position. 12hr shifts, and overtime is usually available, the checks are good but you do have to put in a lot of hrs to see a nice check because the pay rate isn't really high. The kids are awesome! They have their moments when they are a handful but they are troubled teens so that is expected. Believe Everything they say in orientation if you get a job here! This will be the best worse job you ever have.

Resource is a HORRIBLE place to work. The higher ups only care about a few supervisors. They never try to learn staff name unless they’re in trouble. There’s no job security at all!! The kids can literally kick your butt and not have any consequences. NO ONE shows up to work so they mandate you all the time and if you don’t stay over they threaten to write you up. There’s no structure at all in that place. The kids are suppose to get treatment there and all they give them is a packet once a month to complete. Omg and the therapist.... there’s two therapist that actually cares about the kids, everybody else is there for a check. 

* A typical day can run smoothly
* I have learned that we all truly come from different walks of life and some of us the same,
* Management, to tact whats so ever, as rude and ungrateful as ever
* Workplace culture can be good and other days it is not
* The hardest part of the job is not getting attached to the children
* The most enjoyable part about the job is that at the end of the day you know in your heart you are helping someone, get them selves together for a new and better beginning

What is the best part of working at the company?
Discovering that working with the children was extremely difficult with no management

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
there wa no management help, no DON and there were no children from Indiana

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
help is changing so rapidly that it is difficult to even develop friendships

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
16 hrs with never knowing if someone will come to relieve you

The most enjoyable part and rewarding part of the job is the children, however, when staffing is short the kids are not able to program. This means they are unable to go to the gym or other fun activities.  Not having an energy outlet creates an angry atmosphere that often leads to conflict, fights and holds when de- escalation is not Possible. Mandatory overtime. Just when you think you're about to clock out you are informed you will work another 8 hours, or be written up.
