Bangor Program Is The WORST!!!!

Supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The clients are really great. The benefits are pretty good but really expensive. All of the Sweetser programs are great (except for the Bangor program). Some of the staff really care about clients and work endless hours.

Cons

-The Senior Management has no experience how to run disabled adult group homes and the clients/staff suffer because of that. -Very Very low pay compared to other employers. They pay half of what Kid’s Peace and other similar companies pay. -Dishonest management that sits all day in the office and never comes out to the group homes anymore to see how bad some of the staff are treating some the clients or how dirty some of the group homes are. -They are so desperate for DSP and supervisor staff that they let people keep their jobs who are doing things like sleeping on the job and not doing good client care.
