Pros

The individuals are amazing. They become like family. Twelve hour shifts are nice. You're reimbursed for expenses. We can go out in the community and enjoy ourselves. You work at a site so your boss isn't constantly in your face. You get so many hours of PTO per check and you can actually use it. They offer bereavement pay. They have holiday pay. They're pretty good at working with your schedule overall.

Cons

The pay sucks so it seems like there is a high turnover rate. The management is overworked because we are short staffed so they get really annoying. They sometimes forget that our individuals who are their own guardian have the right to make their own decisions without being scolded or having privileges revoked. Benefits are offered but you really don't make enough money to afford them so what's the point? Some PCs tend to talk down to employees and says that they are going to cut everyone's hours back to part time so they can avoid providing benefits, even if you don't use benefits because like I said it's too expensive.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy that you have enjoyed the flexibility your role provides, as well as your time with the people we are honored to serve. We hope for the most part your experience with management is a positive one, however, we encourage you to share any feedback or concerns you have with your supervisor or local HR. We understand that the cost of healthcare is a challenge for many of us. We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the benefits we offer to our employees, as well as the incentives we provide. For example, any employee enrolled in a medical plan through The MENTOR Network has the option to open a Health Savings Account (HSA) and earn money towards it by completing wellbeing activities. If you would like more information on our medical benefits, please reach out to your local HR contact.

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.
