ProCare Therapy reviews

ProCare does not honor the contracts it signs, and does not protect employees from bad working conditions. I signed a contract to work for a particular district from mid-September to the end of the school year. I was told I would be filling in for one teacher while she was on leave, but instead, I was assigned to work at two schools, doing a job that had been filled the previous year by two teachers (a full time and a half time). In addition, while there were two half-time aides for this caseload last year, I was assigned one aide who worked with my students three hours a day. I did not have a room to work in, and sometimes had to go from room to room looking for a place to see my students. My assigned caseload was higher than the legal limit for resource specialists in California. It was an unworkable situation. I asked for help many times. When the kids didn't get their services and parents and teachers complained, I was terminated without explanation or a chance to defend myself. In short, the district was allowed to avoid blame by blaming me instead. ProCare never discussed this with me; the company simply started advertising for a replacement. The contract apparently is meant to bind the employee, but not the employer. I also haven't received pay stubs for my pay checks which were automatically deposited, or my W-2 form, even though it's February.

Top-down aggressive management style has workers on-edge Quick company growth has shifted ProCare from a small business with a family feel to an extremely "old school" corporate organization Management is reactionary and lower management has trouble communicating these ever-shifting tactics Individual sales goals are not realistic Turnover rate is extremely high, and instead of addressing internal issues, management continues to hire more people, "churn and burn" mentality Commission rates are very low Contradictory orders/tactics from management The answer to any discontent with processes, management, questions is "Be positive and smile" which does not answer the question. Sales quotas are not mandated or communicated until someone feels as though you are not hitting them Secret meetings, firings, and new changes to the organization have the rumor mill running wild
