Most Toxic & Corrupt Place I have ever worked at, biggest regret is applying
Pros
Kids made it bearable thankfully
Cons
I was excited to work at Fraser yet it is the worst, most corrupt & toxic work environment I have ever been exposed to. Management: -This place is run by BULLIES! Within the first month someone made up a lie about me & I was sent home suspended! From then on I was bullied & harassed biweekly over little things like “ not keeping clients within distance or interacting with them” which other staff also failed to do. I was micromanaged & constantly belittled by my supervisor & then the management. That is workplace harassment! -Instead of finding healthy ways to cope with stress & taking accountability these bullies took it out on me & others. I had a job working with kids that took my back 3 times! So clearly I am not the problem. -They tend to find fault with any & every employee especially new ones & I believe part of it is that they do not want to give out hiring bonuses. -They made constant changes, the schedule was not posted until 5 minutes beforehand & they continually criticized every little thing we did. -It’s ironic how they appear so liberal yet as a woman I have been treated worse by these female managers than I have ever been treated by male managers. It’s time we hold toxic female managers as accountable as male managers because this is not equality, it’s enablement. -They do not care about the clients & only see them as a profit & everything needs to be billable. If an organization sees kids as profit then no wonder it’s run by bullies. -There is literally no training & everything I learned I had to by asking because they care more about saving money than investing time & money to keep employees. Kids: -Most of the kids are sweet but some are a threat to staff. I have seen a kid beat the back of staff with no repercussions, kids biting, slapping & pulling hair with no consequences. That is workplace abuse & could seriously endanger someone with physical problems or put them at risk of ingesting a deadly disease. -These children are seen as so much dumber than they are & are forced to do trials that are of no help. How does having a child put a ball in a cup repeatedly help them in the real world?! Maybe one day they’ll be good at beer pong. -These kids are seen profit & any real interaction with them is looked down upon unless you are forced to do pointless & mundane trials. I have seen kids cry because they don’t want to be forced to do trials & I have seen kids being discharged with no real ability to function in the real world. This ABA therapy disables kids & is a waste of their life & future. These bright kids are dumbed down so they can stay in the system forever for financial profit. I know several adults who are autistic & are thriving without ever having any exposure to ABA. Employees -They treat employees as replaceable & the turn out rate is too high. In the 4 months that I worked there more than half of the staff whether behavior technicians or higher ups quit or switched locations. So the fact that management has the time & energy to bully staff to the point of quitting is beyond me. -The employees that stay bully each other or new employees & create a toxic work environment. -I would say most employees are good people but the ones that stay are miserable & take it out on staff just like management does. Conclusion: I am beyond shocked that this place is open & operating because they see the kids as profit & staff as disposable. The harassment & bullying of employees, worker abuse by clients & viewing clients as profits are all factors that point to the fact that FRASER needs to be investigated. If you are looking to work here please avoid at all costs & do not make the same mistake I made. It is not worth it & you may be their next victim of workplace harassment. This place will one day face severe consequences for their actions & that gives me peace. You cannot allow this type of hostility to go on without serious repercussions & one day they will face their karma. If you are a parent please look elsewhere, this greedy & corrupt organization could do without your insurance payout.
