Awesome company with great employees and owners - Recensione dipendente - Shift Supervisor presso Crossroads Academy

The job is a lot of fun. Some days are definitely harder than others, but the work often did not even feel like "work" to me. You get a snow basin pass as a staff member, and you get paid to take the students to the mountain several times a week. The company pays for your meals while you are working. I hardly went grocery shopping while working here because of how much overtime I worked. Work trips happen once a month. You can volunteer to go, and you get paid quite a bit to do so. You'll go on trips to Moab, St. George, Bear lake, and Wyoming. On these trips, you'll take the students boating, rock climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, or whatever else they want to do. Unlike most other treatment centers, staff are not expected to be robots who only enforce rules. You are encouraged to build relationships with the students. Many of them still stay in touch with staff after they graduate. It's really cool to see them grow and to see the people they become. They let you work overtime here. I worked around 500 hours of overtime in 2025 and it was a great opportunity to pay off some student debt.

It is very hard to get shifts covered here, especially if you work weekend shifts. Employees are expected to get their own shifts covered (so that no one has to be on call). The cost of living is going up much faster than the pay here. I had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to afford school, rent, etc. However, they were worth it, and I would do it again. Sometimes it can be hard to "leave work at work" with these kinds of jobs. I sometimes found myself very socially drained.

Activities and trips are fun.

You will be treated poorly by students for the duration of your time. Unless you are a therapist or house manager, you wont have opportunities to move within the business or make much money. Dont bother going above and beyond to make this place better in anyway as it doesnt matter to the owners.
