Pros
The consumers that I was there for to support are amazing people and touched my lives in so many ways. They were such a big part in my life that I continued to deal with the lack of support and other issues because I was afraid if I left the senior management wouldn't make sure they continued to get quality care.
Cons
ResCare is a company that in the 5 years I worked there became more concerned with their budget and profit margin and less about their clients and employees every quarter. I worked my way up through the company within my first year there and within the second year was in management. ResCare pays its employees minimum wage and schedules some of them to work over 80 hrs a week every week without ever thinking twice. If you are looking for a company to progress through and increase your pay that is not an option at ResCare in my 5 years I got introduced to five different directors 3 in the same year. Each time bringing in a less qualified person at a lower salary. This is the same for every management position. ResCare would move clients out of homes people had lived in for 10 or more years because they could get someone to move in their but not the home that they had a vacant bed in costing them money. ResCare does not excuse you from work even if you provide a Dr's statement stating you wee sick and had to miss work. Your co-workers are there today and gone tomorrow. When I started in my area our company had just been bought from ResCare in the years since I can not even believe some of the things I had to watch happen and watch management just ignore.
