Pros

Fulfilling work that makes a difference. Service recipients are the best! Direct support and management personnel, for the most part, try their best.

Cons

Top-heavy administration communicates in a silo without regard or concern for the service recipients or the onsite staff and management. Directors have no voice in key decisions, policy changes, etc., and generally find out changes at the same time as the teams they support -as the policy is introduced. Their top-heavy administation and corporate allocations absorb the revenue leaving inadequate wages for direct support and management personnel, which creates great turnover and compounds the staffing crisis. NO support for directors or managers from anyone above the director level. NO appreciation for their staff. Could not even be bothered to send a Holiday card or any recogniton for DSP Week, etc. They have veered greatly off-track and are no longer a person-centered company, nor a preferred employer. Not competitive with wages or benefits, and have offered no contribution to profit-sharing retirement in several years. Their reputation has deteriorated.

Pros

Pay was decent for a while with many years of experience. Ability to work from home & create your own schedule within reason.

Cons

Hit the pay range cap-no more raises. They say they have profit sharing, but in almost 8 years I received with interest about $325 total. Poor work / life balance as no one covers your caseload while you take PTO, which makes taking the PTO near impossible and worthless as an incentive. Caseloads increased to 45. High level of documentation standards = significant volumes of typing (typically 40-60 pages/day). Require a 75/80% of your time needs to be billable. Got written up because of something my supervisor required me to change in my process which I then fell behind & is what I said would happen because the supervisors process was not effective. Heavy on management & not on worker bees as well as micromanagers.
