Pros

I started as a direct support and have been given many opportunities to advance into management. I'm sick and tired of hearing reviews at some companies including ours where there are complaints of low pay, no opportunities. There are countless opportunities if you work hard, and take advantage of the growth of this company which is one of the largest and most well-positioned in California across the entire state. The company also launched a give-back program to employees called the Variable Pay Plan where every employee will receive an annual 2-3% bonus if the company meets budget.

Cons

Entry level pay is not great but neither are the reimbursement rates from the state that have been frozen for years. Once you get into a management position the salaries are much better and you can build a career at this company where they value hiring from within.

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.
