Pros
Being a small part in supporting people to live a more independent life is extremely rewarding. If, and only if, you have a great supervisor, your day-to-day experience will be manageable. A significant factor in me choosing SCI was the bonus and incentive programs offered.
Cons
My overall confidence and pride in this organization continues to deteriorate. Leadership, specifically some Program Managers and VPs, are external hires with very minimal direct experience in the field. The overall attitude of the company since these hires (past 6-8 months), has taken a turn for the worst. Rather than prioritizing the needs of the people supported and finding ways to best support its staff, SCI’s focus has shifted to micromanaging employees and finding ways to retroactively disqualify them for bonuses and incentives. I know I am not alone in this sentiment - an organization I once loved has me seriously contemplating my future.
