Hi, as part of the Talent Acquisition team here in the National office; I am very sorry to hear about your on going experience with your supervisor and lack of feeling appreciated! We are working diligently as I type to add HR teams into every state that we offer services. As part of this decision we are working with local HR teams to obtain more ownership of elements that should fall under the HR umbrella that traditionally operations has ownership of in the past. Our goal in building out these robust HR teams is to show the value of HR on a local level so the heart of our business (DSP's and Field staff) can be heard. We have many initiatives and goals for this year in regards to HR many of which include creating and implementing employee recognition and retention programs depending on the state that you are in; as well as recruitment so we can reduce overtime; resulting in a better work life balance for staff as burnout is a real thing in this industry. I am not able to see what state you are located in; so please let me know if you do not have a local HR representative; especially as I would like you to contact them in regards to the potential fraud you mentioned with your supervisor so an investigation can be conducted.

The clients are wonderful, the management is lacking

Pros

The people I worked with were the perk. I always enjoyed seeing the individuals and looked forward to what the day would bring. There were outings, appointments and the grind of daily living chores. I worked at several homes and it really depended on the management more than the clients whether the work environment was hostile or friendly.

Cons

House Coordinators have way too much power over the clients lives. I witnessed many who treated the residents like children and would send them to their rooms to make the HC's job easier. HC's generally have little to no education and really no real knowledge besides what's on paper about the people they are supposedly serving. Management is on call 24/7 so they get lazy during their daily work. Double standards abound with them doing everything the general staff is not allowed to do. Can't count how many times I've called out an HC for lying about something stupid that was going on in the house or caught them punishing/secluding a client which is not allowed. Managment has no problem leaving staff in the dark about certain issues and letting staff deal with the fallout and blame. Managment does not document a lot of incidents so new staff come on and are completely unaware of what they are walking into. I witnessed a member of upper management get hit repeatedly and say, "We're supposed to report that and call this number but he's done so it's okay." Pay is low for the high risk you take with some of the clients.

Flexibility is a plus and also they do consider employees with kids.

Cons

They don’t make their employees feel valued.
