I felt the supervision were very cold and standoffish with the interns. I was treated great by other counselors, intake coordinators, and staff. The experience I received was priceless, as I facilitated process, smoking cessation, anger management, and family groups. The Lead Counselor allowed me to do individual counseling sessions with eight to twelve Beneficiaries every week, and gave me awesome feedback in our weekly counselor's meeting. I was there for seventeen months, and they continuously encouraged me to apply for a full time position. When I finally went to their official site and applied, it took them six weeks to be interviewed by the same Lead Counselor who was encouraging me to apply. I heard from other interns that The Salvation Army tends to use Interns as often as possible, and only runs hiring adds as a formality.
I tried my best to stick to counseling and avoid their politics or business model. I would like it the Salvation Army paid its summer time workers a little more. Our pay is horrible considering we work around 14 hours a day. The work environment should also offer more time for employees to rest because working at a summer camp creates a fast paced environment that makes it easy for staff members to burn out. I would also like to see a more serious tone of integrity in workers. The Salvation Army is a christian organization and should ensure that its staff members represent the gospel in an appropriate way both on and off duty.
I love working for the Salvation Army Kroc Center. I have been a Lead Lifeguard for almost 2 years now. The job is flexible for school and fun.
The co workers are friendly and we are close- knit family with the other departments. One improvement that I would like to see is more advertisement for the younger crowd. I believe that they can utilize the Kroc Center for many things.
The gym and weight room are in good condition. They also offer work out classes. Personally, I have always been interested in the ukulele classes. I worked as a Program Assistant at a Learning Center, which was a part-time after school program during the school year and a full-time day camp during the summer.
You get paid a little over minimum wage, and it is mostly a teaching position. If you are passionate about teaching, or you are passionate about working with difficult and under-privileged children then you will be very good at this job and you will find the work difficult but enjoyable. However, if neither of these things is your passion, then you will not have an enjoyable time at this job. The work is hard and stressful, and you work with difficult kids who are, most of the time, uncooperative. Overall, I have worked here for a year and a half, and I enjoyed the children and my coworkers a lot.
