Pros

-Most people who work for the company are genuinely nice, caring people and are pleasant to work with. -Most clients are just as nice and are fun to get to know. -It's a job.

Cons

-Nepotism in hiring, nepotism in scheduling, nepotism in payroll, nepotism in treatment of employees. -Large corporate structure guarantees that no matter what your grievance, no one will care. Unless an outside agency (i.e. Office of Recipient Rights) gets involved. -Employees haven't received raises in over five years; some recently received an insulting $60 check bearing the message, "Thanks for all you do." -Direct care staff are expected to accept the same near-minimum wage regardless of how much extra work is expected of them; homes with total care clients (those that are dependent on staff for all activities of daily living) are paid the same as those with as few as one or two clients who require the most minimal of assistance (such as cleaning) -Refusal to offer benefits to same-sex spouses (specifically targets "spouses under federal, not state law" in benefits materials)

Pros

I am with the workforce services division. Huge company, great benefits packet. Pay is sub-standard because they are a for-profit company working mainly with government grants. They do have some amazing systems in place, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of communication and sharing of best practices.

Cons

They take their most talented individuals and promote them, then basically "chew them up and spit them out". Staying at entry-level or mid-management seems to ensure job security.
