We appreciate your feedback, and regret that your experience with our organization has not been positive. We highly value the contributions of our caregivers, who have a direct and positive impact on the people we are honored to serve every day. As a human services organization, we rely on government funding to support the work we do, and the rates we receive for services have an impact on the compensation we provide. We understand that although jobs in human services are rewarding, they can also be demanding, and we continuously advocate for rate increases that we can pass along as pay increases to our employees. In addition, although we do not have a formal annual raise program, we do offer a bonus program for direct care professionals. Under this program, if you are an employee in a direct support role who has at least one full fiscal year of service with the company, you are eligible to receive an annual bonus when your state achieves their performance goals for the year if you are in good standing as an employee. If you are unfamiliar with this program, or would like to learn more, we encourage you to reach out to your local HR contact for further details. Thank you sharing your thoughts, and for all that you to do support the individuals we serve.

Pros

Good relations with PBS sometimes Good pay

Cons

Management is horrible. You may get a good house manger, but their supervisor are terrible. They all get together in some type of clique and even have favorite employees where they put them in a new position simply because of their connections. The Program Directors and Area Directors lie on employees just to cover up their involvement and save themselves from being written up. There is no fairness when working at this company. You can get in trouble for something and a Program Director, Area Director, or even house manager can do the same thing and have their coworkers cover for them. They talk about chain of command a lot but when you actually follow it, it only comes back to bite you. If they want you gone your gone. I've seen it happen to two house mangers where one was lied on and almost faced criminal charges (now dismissed) and the other forced to leave or face a charge that was not their fault for problem that happened before they got there. It's all basically like a bad toxic parent and family. You can speak out to what's going on, but they refuse to listen or get mad because you're pointing it out. They speak In a raised voice, you match it ad get called disrespectful. You point out that they are doing the same thing and it's apparently how they talk. You talk about something private that's going on in your life between a manger or program Director and the next thing you know all your coworkers know.
