Pay not worth the potential of injury
As a coach at Calo within 3 months I was done the pay was horrible the hour were not to bad but I got bruises daily and I ended up with a major injury. Not worth it at all.
Relationship building with the children
Building relationships was great. The training to do so wasn't there. With 12 hour shifts and the physical confrontations the pay wasn't worth it. I do miss the kids.
Great cause, poor execution
Just another textbook example of a corporation that's gotten greedy: huge emphasis on bringing in more kids/more money, much less attention and effort goes to actually making sure students' and staff's needs are met.
Amazing facility to work at. But management needs improvements
I had an amazing journey here at Calo. But due to some personal issues the management team and I did not see eye to eye and I had to move on. I am forever grateful for the experience and the chance to grow within a company.
Rewarding work
Calo is a workplace that truly cares about our employees and our students. Calo strives to honor and support employees with monthly Town Hall, annual celebrations, Rock Star awards, etc. Meeting the needs of our students can be emotionally demanding at times so self-care is a must.
The Best and Worst Job You Will Ever Have
You will be put on a 12 hour work schedule. This included four lettered schedules: two "day shifts" 9am-9pm and two "night shifts" 9pm-9am.
It takes a special type of person to work at Calo
Long shifts with no breaks was not convenient, especially considering the working conditions called for needing a minute every once in a while. Lots of policy changes with no follow through made it confusing to know the rules at a job where black and white rules are important for everyone's safety.
Is Calo a normal job?
If you want to work at Calo, you MUST talk with a current employee to get a feel for the day to day acitivities. Calo is not a normal job, it's a calling.
Is Calo a good place to work?
Calo is a great place to work, if you have the heart for the kids we work with! If your heart is not in it, this is not the job for you. This job is not just a paycheck! You are reqiring brains here to help heal the traumatic affects of abuse and neglect. Calo's culture is wonderful. Calo tries to recognize all individuals that are going above and beyond. The stress of working with the students pays off when you see them healed and going home to a connected family.
Is Calo a good employer?
Calo is an amazing employer with great benefits. Since this is a residential treatment center, there are staff here 24/7. While the work can sometimes be strenuous and stressful the end result is very rewarding.
