Recognize the DSP's

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Helping children and devoted direct care staff.

Cons

Poor work/life balance, lack of leadership communication and lack of support for staff working direct care. DSP's are not valued and recognized for their hard work. Too much money is spent at the top of leadership or trying to grow the organization when there are not enough staff to provide the direct care work thus creating over time and stress for the DSP's.

Toxic Work Environment & Poor Leadership

Program coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay more than most other agencies in the area for similar work, at least for middle management positions.

Cons

Salaried staff are expected to work 60+ hours a week. Work environment was high stress and very toxic--coworkers acted like a bunch of middle schoolers who would rather play "mean girls" than actually do their jobs. Don't pay direct line staff enough to retain them long term resulting in lots of turnover and more work for managing staff on top of other duties. Leadership is a joke, many are less educated than the staff they supervise and throw managing staff under the bus in difficult situations.
