Pros

Fantastic coworkers who are all invested in the lives of the people Rise serves. Very kind and accessible leadership who are on the forefront of disability services and working to advance the sector. They also have such a strong track record of success, supporting people to find jobs and keep them!

Cons

Pay can be low for certain positions, however this is a governmental funding issue and Rise is on the higher end for the industry.

Awful company to work for

Pros

Schedule, PTO, Location, Blank, Blank

Cons

The drama there is unbearable most days. Management is really lacking, almost non existent most days. Different set of rules for different people, which creates animosity amongst staff. Low pay means they get low quality staff, and it's a revolving door there when it comes to hiring staff. I was asked by a family member if she should apply there because she's looking for a job. I told her no, I care about her so I couldn't recommend it.
