Pros
I enjoyed working with my fellow colleagues and the clients that were assigned to my caseload. Until I left the company I felt that my contributions to the clients treatment was valued.
Cons
Don't expect to get a raise when working for this company. I received a fairly paltry bonus during one year. The company did not send me any documentation to notify me of this bonus. During my tenure with this company employee benefits were stopped (i.e. contributions to their 401k and PTO buy back). I later discovered that hourly employees still could buy back their PTO but salaried employees could not. The remaining employee benefits, their health insurance plans, were quite expensive. Upper management does not seem willing to meet with direct care staff and listen to their concerns about working with a challenging population or offer these caregivers support and training that would help them in their efforts. The company name is a combination of the words "Respect" and "Care." Decisions by upper management appeared to be focused on slashing the budget to a degree that the programs' clients' were missing out on social, cultural, and emotional opportunities. Their desire to lower expenses impacts the respect and care that the children that were admitted to this particular program in a negative manner.
