Pros

Values long-term employees Opportunity for Growth Team-Building environment Positive strides toward Person Centered Practices I have been employed with Meridian for over 10 years and started out as a DSP. I was able to grow with the company through caring and careful, training and mentor-ship. I have seen the careful thought put into place with employee retention and the recruitment process. I believe the time that others invest into this company are what makes it continue to succeed. I am proud to be apart of a team that cares so much about each individual served and their future successes. I would definitely recommend this employer to others, and have done so in the past.

Pros

I have worked for Meridian for two years and have been very impressed with this company. There are a lot of layers of support within management which I haven't seen with similar companies I've worked for. There is a lot of opportunity for career growth if you are interested and you can get experience in many different areas. The company also provides a lot of training for employees.

Cons

There is a shortage of direct support staff but that is due to what's going on in the social services field right now, not a reflection of Meridian.
