This is an agency that cares about and for people. There is utmost respect for the people we serve and the agency truly does support the ideal of helping people live in a world where they feel a sense of belonging and empowerment. As a staff member, I always feel supported, valued and appreciated by my immediate supervisors and the leadership team of the agency. I have been encouraged and supported in growing in my profession and developing my skills. My experience has consistently been that administration adheres to high ethical standards of practice. I can't imagine doing this job anywhere else and feeling the same level of commitment and care from my employer.
Cons
As a non-profit, there is a great deal of dependance on funding streams (the state, Medicaid, etc) that don't often provide adequate funding to support the important and hard work that people do in this agency. I know that Racker does as much as they can to provide better pay and benefits, but overall the field of human services tends to be lower paying, unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review and for your kind words! We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are glad to learn that you have received the support needed to grow in your career.
Racker Centers is a great example of a mission driven organization with strong leadership and a clear vision. Though the agency is quite large, staff can still feel a sense of belonging as well as independence in their work. Benefits and vacation time are great.
Cons
As a non-profit, they cannot match the higher salaries of schools or the state. Leadership in certain areas of the agency could be strengthened.
