Pros

Clients are sweet, the information they know on the client is usually very accurate, coworkers other than management are very willing to help you get your bearings.

Cons

Sexual harassment goes on with staff and manager in one of the houses, some houses are very under equipped and trashed, they don't train you properly before you get into house, you'll have to pay very much for training instead of getting reimbursed, $25 out of every paycheck.

Hello! We take sexual harassment reports very seriously. We want all of our employees to enjoy their jobs with us. Please feel free to reach out to our current HR Manager if you would like to discuss this further. We do deduct $25/check until $250 has been collected. We actually pay around $2000 for each Direct Support staff's training. $250 isn't much towards that, but it definitely helps. It wasn't an easy decision or policy to implement!
