• Meaningful work supporting individuals and families with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). • Opportunity to advocate for vulnerable populations and help create safety plans and service contracts. • Ability to build strong relationships with clients and families. • Gained valuable experience navigating social service systems and compliance requirements. • Learned a lot about documentation, service coordination, and case management processes. • The work allowed me to grow in empathy, advocacy, and problem-solving skills. • Some coworkers were compassionate and deeply committed to the people they served.

• Workplace culture at times felt cliquish, which created divisions among staff. • There appeared to be favoritism within certain teams, which affected morale and perceptions of fairness. • Concerns raised by employees were not always acknowledged or addressed in a transparent or timely manner. • Communication from leadership and HR sometimes lacked clarity or follow-through. • Some employees felt unsupported when bringing forward workplace concerns. • Investigations related to workplace issues did not always appear to be handled thoroughly or transparently. • These challenges contributed to an environment where some staff felt hesitant to raise concerns.
