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.

Pros

Clients served. Great health insurance.

Cons

Company has a great idea behind it, but missing the mark in execution. No reprimands for showing up late, you may be relieved from your shift on time or hours later. May or may not be trained on clients before hand. May or may not get med certified, depending on how busy management is they may decide it is not necessary and then you’re unable to give emergency meds or give them when staff doesn’t arrive on time. Insanely short staffed; not all upper management are willing to help cover shifts. Direct managers (directly above care staff) are over worked. Very distinct line between upper management and direct management/associates.
