Good hours (no weekends) and good health and dental benefits. The clients are a great group to work with.
Cons
Pay is very low, especially what employees have to put up with. There is no custodial so staff have to do all of the cleaning (including bathrooms). Building overall inside and out is so dirty. Poorly funded. No raises (due to it being a nonprofit).
Las Trampas Response

I'm sorry to hear that your experience with Las Trampas was not good. As stated in some of my other replies, we are working on replacing our old day program facility with a new, state-of-the-art building. Also, our limited funding from the state has made wages a huge challenge for not only Las Trampas, but for providers of services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the state. We continue to advocate for our staff.
We continue to provide training to all staff and management to improve the culture of the organization. Your feedback has been heard.
Daniel Hogue, Executive Director
Staff (especially some in particular), benefits, dignified treatment of participants, some easy days, fun, humor, experience for future work. The participants themselves warm your heart and teach you things that may surprise you.
Cons
Low pay, often suddenly overstimulating, occasional situations that are mentally difficult in the moment. Lots of patience required. Can be physically and mentally exhausting.
las trampas cares for their pariticpants, good benefits
Cons
very low pay, raises were very small. long hours and days worked weekends and holidays. you give you all to your clients and you miss out on important things you switch your whole schedule around just for you to not be valued. management is very unproffesional and will let you know you are replaceable. managers show very high favoritism
