Okay work place until it’s not
Unrealistic expectations in regards to meeting productivity. As well as knowing and doing nothing about some staff inaccurately documenting to meet productivity and comparing those who aren’t to them. For this reason it felt like comparing coworkers instead of building positive working relationships with coworkers. Not great supervision and administrative support in the field. Lack of cultural competency in regards to clients working with.
This place normalizes abuse as punishment. My brother went there as a young teen and has faced PTSD for over 15 years, he still goes to therapy and sees a psychiatrist for the actions that took place at this facility.
My brother was in this “ facility “ in 90-92. The grounds were beautiful and the homes the boys lived in were gorgeous. My brother did well when he was there. A lot of the staff helped my brother a lot.
Caring for kids
This place has a lot of great opportunities for kids that have had a rough go but could have used some help in the follow through. Felt as though important things were not always the top priority and things sometimes fell through the cracks

A great place to work with an amazing work culture!
I have been at GJR for a year, and it has been the best place I have ever worked. It has a great work culture with people who care about you as an employee and a person. There are chances for advancement and good job security. I have loved being able to help children and families, and the people at GJR in IN have made even the hard times more enjoyable. Pros: The culture of GJR is so supportive and cares about you as an employee and a person. Cons: The nature of the work is hard because of working with children and families in hard situations.
Flexible schedule, remote work, great management, good PTO plan.
The flexibility of creating your own schedule is a huge benefit of working here. Working remote and in the field is a nice balance of not being stuck doing the same thing over and over. Management is fantastic to work with and there is plenty of PTO time to use. Floating holidays and a bonus day are a plus as well. Pros: PTO plan, It's a very independent job, Not micro managed, Great Management and co workers, very flexible schedule
A Supportive Environment
Honestly when I first hired on with GJR in Indiana, I anticipated this organization being a stepping stone to start off my career. Here I am, nearly 7 years later, and there's so many things that I love about the organization. The nature of the work is so hard, but the teams and leadership we have make it so worth it. One of my biggest fears going into the workforce was that I wasn't prepared the way I thought I was and that I would be so embarrassed any time I didn't do anything up to standard - however, literally any time I have fallen short or made a mistake in the time I've been with GJR has been viewed as a learning experience by all parties involved. Our leadership truly cares about each individual staff and their needs even beyond the job and do what they can to meet those needs as much as possible. We would not be able to provide the services we do without the fantastic team members and our leadership. Pros: Compensation is competitive, PSLF eligible, positive and supportive work environment, many opportunities for learning and growth within the company Cons: The nature of the work is difficult, some evening hours
Love GJR in IN!
GJR is a great place to work for anyone who values balance, support, and meaningful impact. The flexible work schedule makes it easy to maintain a work-life balance, and the upper management is consistently supportive, approachable, and genuinely invested in employee growth. One of the most rewarding parts of working at GJR is the opportunity to help people work through their struggles—whether clients or colleagues—creating an environment that feels both compassionate and purpose-driven. Overall, GJR fosters a positive culture that encourages personal and professional fulfillment.
Place is understaffed can't keep or get help and is putting youth at risk for their horrible workers they have there. Behavior and attiudes are to improve well the staff they hire will make it worsen
Went there as a youth 15 years old 1970-72 after being a gang member and getting into much trouble and not enough schooling, first time away from home and stayed close to 2 years at Sharam Hall, almost seems like forever but l survived, no bad memories, just no girls smh, surprised they still in existence

I was transported from juvie to George Jr. from around November-December of 2018 and got out of there in March 2019 and I just wanna say, my attitude and behavior had changed a lot when I was there, it sucked that I had to spend Christmas and my birthday in there but I changed for the better. I just wanna say thank you to Mr. G, Mr. E, Mr. Andy and some of the female staff members there for just looking out for me and try to help me out the best of there abilities. Yall are amazing, I’m now 22 years old going to college and playing sports. 😊
