No structure

Specialized Youth Support Worker (Former Employee) - Coquitlam, BC - 3 January 2023

They only wanted to keep the funds coming in, not interested in actually making a difference for the clients. Wasted a lot of funds and staff moral is always dwindled.

Decent for a starter job in the field

Youth Support Worker (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 23 February 2020

This place was very wishy washy. Great experience to learn from. However it’s very hard to work in an environment and industry where u have a o care for Kids but your not allowed in anyway to care about them.

Thanks for your review. We’re a bit confused by the comment of not being allowed to care about the kids. We hope that everyone who works for Strive is caring and given an opportunity to show it. We apologize for any miscommunication, and we hope that you’ll give us another chance if you’re ever looking for work again.

Worst job

Child and Youth Support Worker (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 14 November 2018

Not a fun job, to be honest. They make you work really long hours and don't pay nearly enough for the what they expect of you. As well, the co-workers aren't the friendliest.

We’re very sorry to hear that this was your worst job. Employees have the right to refuse work so no one should be forced to work long hours they don’t want to. However, we do agree that working in this field deserves more recognition and higher pay. We wish you reached out during your time here so we could’ve worked together to resolve your concerns.

Good company, could be better.

Child and Youth Support Worker (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 11 July 2017

I really like Strive and what they do in the Greater Vancouver area but they do not offer enough support to their CYS positions. High turn over rate makes it hard to get into a groove when treating clients.

Thanks for your review. High turnover rates are something we have been working on and continue to work on making better. Thanks for all the work you do in our CYS department.
