Great place to work and learn

CYS Support Worker, CYS residence worker, Adult 1-1 worker (Former Employee) - Lower Mainland, BC - 18 June 2020

During my time with Strive I worked in the Children's Program as well as in the Adult 1-1 program. Both programs were very organized, supportive, team oriented and most importantly client focused. Management was professional and approachable. If you want to learn and grow your skills I highly recommend this company.

Pros

Residential Child and Youth Care Worker (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 23 May 2019

Management was very challenging with this company. However, the wages are higher and the clients are a pleasure. There are many homes that need workers, and their is always penalty of work.
