You are absolutely correct, that you cant get rich doing this line of work. With our mission and values apply to every person we serve, including those with significant behavioral, medical and physical challenges; we get paid very little to do what we do. Being supported by the waiver system and Medicaid/Medicare most social services company's rely on hiring staff that is passionate about making an impact and changing someones life which is what we can offer where other companies in different industries can offer higher pay. What we can offer unlike other companies is free food while working, and the ability to attend activities/events for free! If there is something you like doing, suggest it to your person served and have fun doing that! Each home and each person served has different needs so never forget you can transfer into other homes that pay more or have different needs requirements. Please note at the 1 year mark we do offer an increase in pay, as well as we also offer benefits which some competitors don't. P.S. Don't forget about some of the unique perks you can take advantage of this summer like a free cabin for you and your family to stay at; or a discounted camping trip!

Pros

The clients are great and the best part about the job.

Cons

Management and Training Deficiencies Ineffective Leadership: On-site management consistently fails to engage in direct training or oversight. Supervisory duties are frequently abdicated to senior staff members who lack formal training authority, leading to inconsistent onboarding. Lack of Professional Development: Management is unresponsive to internal mobility requests and fails to honor promised compensation structures. Pay increases are routinely delayed or ignored, requiring excessive self-advocacy from staff. Hostile Work Environment: There is a culture of verbal discouragement and professional "berating," particularly when staff members address exhaustion or request standard time off. Operational and Clinical Mismanagement Medication Errors: There is a recurring pattern of medication mismanagement. Rather than addressing systemic flaws, management shifts culpability onto individual staff members when discrepancies are reported. Neglect of Client Care: Management has repeatedly declined to seek necessary medical intervention for clients (e.g., insomnia treatments), leading to unsafe conditions for both the client and the staff member on duty. Dishonest Reporting: Documentation regarding client activities and milestones is frequently falsified or significantly embellished, misrepresenting the actual quality of care provided. Ethical Violations and Safety Concerns Unsafe Behavioral Interventions: I witnessed multiple instances of staff using inappropriate and unauthorized redirection methods, including the use of spray bottles and unnecessary physical force. Inadequate Emergency Support: During overnight crises, administrative guidance was negligent. I was once advised to leave a distressed client outside at 1:00 AM rather than receiving actionable assistance. Retaliatory Conduct: Following my resignation, management engaged in unprofessional behavior by contacting me via personal social media platforms to deliver threats regarding future employability.
