Pros

1.) Consumers on the most part are fun to work with and spend time around. 2.) Co-workers are hard-working and willing to assist you. 3.) Always extra hours/overtime available for those that need it. 4.) PTO benefits accrue but since you won't be able to use them - they make a nice severance package when you quit or are terminated.

Cons

1.) Almost impossible to find a replacement when you need to take time off. Forget about taking a vacation because there just aren't enough staff to cover 2.) Management treat the staff as "resources" and not people. Condescending tones abound when upper management interact with direct support staff and laugh at them when they think they are not within earshot. 3.) Almost no possibility for advancement 4.) Health Insurance package is so expensive that you would have to work a second job just for the monthly payment. Most employees I know can't afford it and go without. 5.) Always high turnover due to high workload, low pay and unrealistic management job expectations. They do expect employees to be available to come in early, stay late and be flexible - as they like to schedule last minute "mandatory meetings" with little to no notice. Majority of your co-workers will be less than 1 year of experience in the job site you work. Be prepared to deal with many unanswered questions because nobody really knows the information you are asking about.

Pros

The clients are great and the best part about the job.

Cons

Management and Training Deficiencies Ineffective Leadership: On-site management consistently fails to engage in direct training or oversight. Supervisory duties are frequently abdicated to senior staff members who lack formal training authority, leading to inconsistent onboarding. Lack of Professional Development: Management is unresponsive to internal mobility requests and fails to honor promised compensation structures. Pay increases are routinely delayed or ignored, requiring excessive self-advocacy from staff. Hostile Work Environment: There is a culture of verbal discouragement and professional "berating," particularly when staff members address exhaustion or request standard time off. Operational and Clinical Mismanagement Medication Errors: There is a recurring pattern of medication mismanagement. Rather than addressing systemic flaws, management shifts culpability onto individual staff members when discrepancies are reported. Neglect of Client Care: Management has repeatedly declined to seek necessary medical intervention for clients (e.g., insomnia treatments), leading to unsafe conditions for both the client and the staff member on duty. Dishonest Reporting: Documentation regarding client activities and milestones is frequently falsified or significantly embellished, misrepresenting the actual quality of care provided. Ethical Violations and Safety Concerns Unsafe Behavioral Interventions: I witnessed multiple instances of staff using inappropriate and unauthorized redirection methods, including the use of spray bottles and unnecessary physical force. Inadequate Emergency Support: During overnight crises, administrative guidance was negligent. I was once advised to leave a distressed client outside at 1:00 AM rather than receiving actionable assistance. Retaliatory Conduct: Following my resignation, management engaged in unprofessional behavior by contacting me via personal social media platforms to deliver threats regarding future employability.
