Management was hapless and seemed to flounder. Cutting costs was valued over client well being.

Business Outlook

Pros

Management shared stories at meetings about interventions that promoted individuals rights to self determination.

Cons

Overworked staff, too many clients to effectively provide timely service. Charged clients individually for their checking fees. These individuals received very little in benefits. Human Resource decisions seemed to be made without any attempt to provide feedback to assist staff in tough clinical decision making. Counstant struggling for resources made staff interactions difficult. Fear of clients causing problem in building meant that clients who came to location felt unwelcome.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment. Happy and nice TL & Supervisors. benefits. some room for growth. Great training. They start you at $11/hr and after training it goes higher based on previous experience & benefits. You also get a 3% raise every year & at 5 years you get an extra week of time off.

Cons

Though they train you to do your job very well, if you are new to the corporate world, they do not fully explain benefits or rules about tardiness. There are resources on their knowledge base, but you have to be proactive & know where to find them and what questions to ask.
