At ALSO, you can tell people care bout the work the company does. People are there to support those who experience life with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That is the goal and a lot of the company happenings come back to the work they do for people supported an how to create a better community for everyone involved.
Cons
This is a nonprofit and the wages reflect that reality. Further, everyone wants what is best for the people supported, but they might not agree on the route to get there which can create organizational hiccups.

Thanks for the excellent review! We appreciate all the hard work you did for us!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you recognize the variety of properties we have, as we strive to offer diverse opportunities for our advocates and the people we support.
We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t feel supported by management. We are always looking for ways to improve communication and leadership support within our teams. If you have specific suggestions or experiences you'd like to share, we’d appreciate the opportunity to hear from you directly so we can continue working toward a more supportive environment for everyone.
The coworkers and manager were very supportive. I really enjoyed making the people we supported laugh and have good memories whenever I could.
Cons
Excessive state documentation prevented outings, extremely short staffed. Sometimes very stressful; this job is not for the faint of heart, I wouldn't recommend working here, particularly 112th house if you have histories of physical/mental trauma.
