Pros

Nothing besides the clients who are challenging but good. If you like overtime you can work 3 shifts a day if you wanted because they are so low on staff.

Cons

Residential director and all upper management run things by personal preference of staff. All upper management /management are close friends so no point in going to anyone for any issues -nothing is confidential or professional. Residential director talks crap about all the employees to other employees and is extremely rude, she can't even say goodbye when she hangs up the phone!!! I've never seen as much neglect and abuse as in this company. My manager had DPPCs investigations going on nonstop and we had to use dish soap to bathe individuals before because there was no soap ! Low pay for working with individuals who are usually extremely aggresive . Managers are mostly residential directors friends and get people fired for simply not liking them. Do yourself a favor and don't work here if you need a stable job, you will most likely get fired for not being part of the "in crowd ".

Pros

Being a part of an organization that cares about individuals with developmental disabilities. Great work /life balance and an organization that truly cares about staff and individuals.

Cons

Can be a challenging industry but it is a very rewarding position and career knowing that you are a part of helping others.

Pros

I can't say how great this organization is. Such a wonderful mission, helping developmentally disabled individuals live as independently as possible. But from a career development perspective, it goes above and beyond. I started as an entry-level direct care professional and am now an assistant manager. I also have tuition reimbursement opportunities as well as a chance to get a bonus when I get my DSC certificate (paid for by the company). The recruiting team has been a really big help in all of that. And the staff at my program are the best. But ultimately we are here for the people we help, and that makes the job very rewarding.

Cons

When I first started I sometimes felt that we could use more training, but the company has done a very good job of providing more training to new hires, as well as staff like myself.
