Business Outlook
Pros
The company endorses the de-institutionalization of individuals with brain injury and mental health issues. The setup is very humanistic in the sense that the housing situation and direct care staffing is well sorted out.
Cons
The employment circumstances of the direct care staff is rather exploitative. Every one of the direct care staff resorts to second or third jobs to actually make a living. While the benefit program is well thought out ( it is possible to accumulate 3 weeks paid vacation within 1 year of employment), the direct care staff can not afford to pay for health insurance. NFI managers strategically staff so overtime pay is avoided at all cost.
