Extremely toxic place to work

Pros

Their mission statement is great, however they fail on the delivery part of that due to extremely poor leadership and employee culture.

Cons

Backstabbing, tattle tale, complaining employee culture. HR person is not neutral and causes more issues than resolves. Toxic. Verbally abusive employees. No support for full time employees, long hours, little help or guidance or training, but plenty of complaints due to unrealistic expectations. Extremely un-professional behavior in an environment that is supposed to be positive.

Pros

I really enjoy3d working with people from all different areas and countries. the campers are amazing and wonderful people. the campers were the best part of my experience.

Cons

-unsafe working conditions with no documentation for serious injuries. I received a bite from a camper and there was no documentation of the incident, no report to caregiver, no empathy. -leadership rly sucks. the seasonal leadership team is awful. they're all buddies and don't have the counselors best interests at heart. you bring up an issue to a leadership staff and it will often get dismissed or flat out ignored. -the hours are so long. it's typically a 16 hr workday. up at 6am, you're usually not in bed urself until 1130. -it depends on the summer, but this past summer the staff was super clique-y, and I felt hecka out of the loop and like they didn't even try and make an effort to be my friend. -laundry facilities are VERY limited. there are 3 staff washers, and 3 staff dryers. there is supposed to be a sign up sheet but no one ever follows it, and it's a mess trying to get ur washing done. -if ur not us3d to working w disabilities- I could see unpleasant odors really being a big issue.
