Pros

The DSPs and the individuals served.

Cons

Where to begin....the management is terrible! They scold you for not telling them any issues yet when you do they tell you that you're "complaining." Likewise, when you go to your program manager (PM) for advisement then it gets back to the ED that you "need a lot of hand holding" & the quotes were spoken directly to me. My program manager talks to me like I'm a dog and I'm older than she is and have more work experience than her. She has zero people skills and does not value her supervisors. I also want to say that our particular office doesn't want things to get to a corporate level so they will break their backs to appease a DSP. It's ridiculous because some things (ie, rules) are being broken for certain DSPs who threaten to go to corporate so our office instructs us to "bend" to appease them. So we are constantly getting contradictory information - how are we supposed to succeed? We have such a high turnover rate because you don't even begin to earn benefits until you've been employed over 6 months. The current PM has only been the PM since December 2016 and has already lost 50% of her supervisors under her. Coincidence? I don't think so. She's horrible. Everything is your fault. I work 50-60 hours a week every week & my PM reminds me that's often the case in this line of work. I have the email to prove it. It's ridiculous!

Pros

Lots of overview. Not to many good things to say about this company. Not only was I lied to from the beginning, but so was many of us was!!!!

Cons

Was told that once classes was over we would get paid milage and 8.25 an hour for being in class, but won't be!!!! Had a TB test, CPR Certified, and Hep B ( 1st shot ) all belong to ResCare! Can't use anywhere else! These are not your average patients as I like to call them....not clients as they call them. They are SICK and they don't live in their own home, as I was told, they live in GROUP homes, totally different! One Caregiver, as I like to be called and not a PCA....was stabbed to death by one of her patients! Meanwhile another patient tried to kill herself. This is a very stressful job! Pay is ridiculous considering you put your life in danger! The pay is $8.25 and benefits are very expensive! ResCare needs to be shut down by the government cause they are running a scam on their patients, caregivers, their families, & government. They take all the clients money every month and provides them with very little! I just finnished training for 5 days. I was told I had a job and when I called the home supervisor she said there isn't a opening, but to come by anyway, so I did and I was sickened by the smell of the home and the condition of the patients, I asked to leave. The home smelled like rotten liver! !!! I refuse to work for this company. Oh and they tell you not to tell anyone who you work for. Sounds like a cover up to me. You also have to go grocery shopping for the patients and bus them around. Think and think again before you work here. I left and cried and cried for those poor patients that has to live there.

Pros

The clients are awesome and you can come to work knowing you are making a difference in someone's life. The flexible hours/schedule are also nice.

Cons

Everyone in the company seems to have very minimal skills and training, from DSP to HR to ED. They have to settle for whatever they can get because the pay is so ridiculously low. As a result, there is extremely high turnaround and nobody knows what they are doing. Corporate likes to randomly impose new policies and forms that make absolutely no sense and are just a waste of time. This company is very hung up on paperwork and unnecessary policies. Supervisors with no supervisory experience are hired because they can't afford anyone with experience...but then they are given zero training on how to manage and supervise. Which obviously results in a disaster. For what it's worth, my operation is supposedly one of the "better run" ones in my state and it is awful.
