Pros

The only pros were the employees that weren’t management. We were like a giant family

Cons

It started out as one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for. I was hired as production control clerk and eventually promoted to material coordinator until I was fired for not being a team player. Which is funny because I did nothing but go out of my way to help everyone at the company. I even received the skookum presidential award a few months after being hired. I worked overtime and off the clock to get things up and running properly and they let me go like it was nothing. Now that they have changed management and grown to be a bigger company they have lost sight of the most important reason the became a company... to help people with disabilities. You get in trouble when you need to take time off for mental health reasons, and you get pushed to do things that your disability prevents you from doing. There is so much favoritism and management could care less. Overall, you do not want to work for this company. They do not care about the people that work here or their disabilities and if you try to get help from HR they’ll just fire you. Believe the bad reviews.. I honestly thought I would retire with this company..

Pros

Independent work, hybrid. Easy interview processes.

Cons

Company culture prioritized over client care. The primary supervisor did not appear to have formal training in mental health or supervision, which contributed to ineffective communication regarding client care. Supervision was directive, combative, and authoritarian rather than collaborative or educational. Practices did not consistently reflect client-centered principles and some job coaches relied on corrective or punitive care with their approach that seemed to place compliance over individual needs and client well-being. Limited understanding how a client's family environment, trauma history, or personal circumstances could influence their job performance, emotional regulation, and overall success. These factors were not consistently incorporated into client support. Professional development and access to evidenced-based mental health practices appeared secondary to adapting to workplace norms.
