Meaningful work overshadowed by disappointing leadership and culture - Recensione dipendente - Counselor presso Nexus Recovery Center

Professional growth opportunities and mission-driven culture.

No cons that I can think of.

Connecting with the children & mothers Teachers were nice & we supported each other I miss teaching the children there, they were great and we had fun I Don’t regret working there with some great teachers, I learned a lot and made friends, I’m grateful for that

Management doesn’t care how teachers were treated honestly.. They sweep everything under the rug. The turnover rate is high because the management is always nasty to the teachers. They shows favoritism, acts very discriminatory and just makes you feel uncomfortable… Good luck with getting any kind of help in your classroom, the teachers would have to check on one another for a bathroom break while they just be sitting in the office watching the cameras and you’ll get in trouble if you do help each other. You’ll get called to the office for the “talk” Leadership sees you struggling and you get no help from them until you’re completely stressed out with so many children by yourself and sometimes out of ratio. If a child is acting out in the classroom they’ll let them sit in the office for 1 minute then take them back to your class for them to continue to act up while they goes to sit back in the office. They would rather you’re stressed out than calling their parents (who’s on the campus) or be any type of help with their behaviors. Which would be violence towards teachers or students. They didn’t care, it wasn’t their problem, you’ll have to figure it out. When new teachers come in there’s no proper training, you’re just thrown in there and it’s super overwhelming. They’ll just “assume” you know how to do something or where something is without showing you or teaching you like a management should do when you first start a job. My time at nexus was not positive because of leadership, they made me and other teachers feel low, unappreciated and uncomfortable. I needed my job so I bit my tongue a lot & had a couple of cry sessions in the bathrooms because of it. Working there has put so much stress on me, leaving was the best choice I’ve made, it made me feel better, lighter, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Working there was not good for my mental health. There was times when leadership was out of the center for days and those were the best days at the daycare, everyone could relax and breathe without having to walk on eggs shells all of the time. Very stressful. I could write a novel on everything that’s happened there, horrible.DO BETTER. 11+ teachers left in the year 2023, please do the math on that… I was one of them because of all of this. Very sad. This is a real honest review. Think twice before working at the center or have a very strong backbone!
