Pros

Flex hours, some incentives like 53 cents mileage, family discounts at places, more importantly, help those who need it the most that are unable to help themselves

Cons

Low wages, some wages taken away like wheelchair pay, wheelchairs required to be put in your personal vehicle as well as individuals but the company will not pay your insurance and practically nothing for damages to car by wheelchairs or clients, terrible management that doesn't stand by their staffs concerns about safety and medical issues, lack of staff, extra duties that CNA's should be handling and extra work like cleaning the entire building everyday instead of having a cleaning crew handle that

Pros

Working with the individuals we serve is very rewarding. To see the smile on their faces. Makes the drama with the job not as significant at times.

Cons

Management sticks together and gossips. Which makes it a domino affect to their programs. Hostile work environment. Underpaid. Not appreciated. You try to support the staff (to prevent high turnover rates) as a supervisor and you are shut down,. You bring up new ideas to truly serve those that we serve and they are shut down. And don't ask questions, because if you ask too many questions they start to look at you and target you. You get targeted if you speak the truth. They omit information when writing you up, making it extremely biased and unfair. A lot of favoritism. If you are tattling on someone else, they love you. Upper Management will tell you one thing and tell another person in your office something different to turn you against one another (while doing their own little secret investigation), thus creating a hostile environment. You file for harassment which is defined as any form of intimidation... and they tell you to "let it go". It is no wonder their turn over rate is high.

Pros

Gain valuable experience working with people with developmental disabilities and family home providers. Every day is different, good variety.

Cons

Company does not appear to care about high turnover. Easy to burn out. No raises, on-call 24/7. Management complains about overtime and mileage reimbursement, even when short staffed. Unprofessional and unresponsive management.
