Cons
I worked for Bancroft for over three years. While working for Bancroft I noticed that many of the employees that work directly with clients often went to the clinical consultant with questions. Often they were not listened to and they were redirected to talk about it later. There were certain times that I was told to talk about concerns later and that entailed talking to a supervisor after school and unfortunately after I was already clocked out. Kronos mobile was used for work to clock in and out. However, there were several times I took work phone calls and read/responded to emails when I was off the clock. For a company that proclaims to be family centered they are not very understanding when an employee needs off for an emergency. I noticed some of my co-workers were run down at times and management never seemed concerned. After the minimum wage went up new employees were hired at a higher rate than people who were there for years. However, the employees with more experience and equal education were making less and training the new hires. Recent changes entailed forcing some of the upper management to retire. I have never seen more turn-over at a company. When staff in the consultation department were hired they were given a job description and told they would be contracted to work in public schools. However, several of the staff have recently left because they are now requiring employees to work in group homes to make up hours that the school is closed for summer. When employees voiced their dismay they replied that it was a job description and not a contract, therefore, they would still be required to make up hours even though the additional assignments didn't fit their job description. Also, there is at times no chance to eat so you end up completely skipping lunch.
