      Pros

      There are a few pros regarding this company. First, working with developmentally disabled individuals is rewarding on so many levels! It feels good to see them achieve their goals. Second, most co-workers are AMAZING to work with. Third, overtime is always available.

      Cons

      There are numerous cons to working for this company. First, you will be worked to death! Second, you will NOT get paid the rate of pay that you should. Third, getting a hold of upper management staff is almost impossible. Fourth, if there is damage to your personal property it takes forever for the company to pay. Fifth, upper management will not stand up for their staff when false accusations are made against them. Sixth, upper management have no idea what goes on in the houses or what the individuals like, dislike, are capable of doing, or uncapable of doing. Seventh, the only chance for advancement comes if you are part of a specific "clique". Eight, training for their staff is almost invisible. Almost all staff are poorly trained and have no idea how handle a plethora of situations.

      OK as a temporary job, but very little about the company makes you want to stay

      Pros

      You will be able to work all of the overtime that you can handle, and then some! The scheduling is flexible if there is full staffing (which is very rare). It is not usually a very physically demanding job, and in some instances, you have a home-life environment. Most of the supported individuals are great to work with, as are your co-workers. Bios often promotes from within, but usually only to first- and second-line supervisors (hourly PLPM and LPM positions). It is also an informal and pretty casual and friendly workplace.

      Cons

      Pay scale is very low, even for this industry. Never enough staff to cover shifts, and it is not unheard of to be stuck for 16, 24, or even 24 hours on shift due to this. No double time is paid, only overtime. The company has a pretty bad reputation as far as support providers go - not because of the hourly level staff, but because of poor management practices. The administration also will not back up their employees when a claim is made against them, even if they know that it is unfounded. Expect to receive disciplinary actions over petty accusations or making a mistake due to lack of training. The company seems to have a "suspend first, investigate later" attitude when issues arise. They usually also side with conservators on complaints, even if it is something that isn't fiscally sound or good for their clients. Often, supported individuals have health or behavior issues that are not disclosed to new hires. This leads to having unhappy employees and a lot of resentment about being lied to so that they could get a position filled. I did not have this problem personally, but the turnover rate shows that I'm in the minority - and I have seen it happen over and over! It makes good employees leave more often than not.
