Pros

One of the only agencies that service non violent individuals only. They give employees 5 dollars a month to gift other employees for morale. One of the best equipped day programs for individuals. They have a sensory room, workout room, computer lab, and theatre area.

Cons

Extremely hard to get time off. They prioritize community access for individuals, more than common sense individual desires and safety. Clear favoritism and HR prides itself for finding ways to not have to pay unemployment benifits. They do not accommodate their aging individuals. They only pay holiday pay for 3 holidays and only if youre on a specific shift. If youre a grave shifter you do not get holiday pay. They treat their and overwork their day program employees poorly and their day program management leaves much to desire and favors certain employees. Big double standards for different employees depending how liked you are. Have to use personal vehicles as they have not invested in enough company vehicles. No home phones. They expect you to constantly be in communication even when not on the clock.

Pros

Buddy's 4 life has been very good so far if I have a question about anything they help me when they can with their busy with other things and issues. Conpair to my last company they were not there for me and it was always a waiting game to here back from them. I have been working with Cory for the past 11 years and it took me many years to get to this point with Cory life. I am so blessed to be able to do this field I never even knew that I could do this type of work but I in joy every minute of it.

Cons

To be able to have staffing to watch Cory so that I can get a break for a little while having only 4 hours of staff for August 2023 is not enough when he has 15 hours each week to use.
