Pros

The consumers you get a chance to grow with and take care of. If you're not here for them this job is not worth it. The only reason I haven't left is because I love the clients I work with. Anyone can get hired (and I mean anyone) but that's not always a good thing.

Cons

Looking online I see the salary says up to $10 an hour. I was told overnight and weekend staff made more when I got hired. That was a lie. I started off working weekends and days at $8.50 an hour in 2010. Then after a few years I moved to overnights. I've been with this company over 5 years and I still make $8.50 an hour. There are no raises, no bonuses, and every single co-worker I work with, including myself, work 2 jobs to make ends meet. Moving up in position is not an option. Sure you can become a house manager but the pay is still very little with more stress added on to your workload. This is how bad it is. Everyone was offered the position of house manager and everyone refused the job. That should tell you something. Unless you can get into a position higher than manager it's not worth it. They have a high turnover, at times you work with clients that have physical behavioral issues but you don't get paid what a behavioral health caregiver should get. A good job just to get some experience or a quick paycheck, but not a good long term company.

Pros

Good relations with PBS sometimes Good pay

Cons

Management is horrible. You may get a good house manger, but their supervisor are terrible. They all get together in some type of clique and even have favorite employees where they put them in a new position simply because of their connections. The Program Directors and Area Directors lie on employees just to cover up their involvement and save themselves from being written up. There is no fairness when working at this company. You can get in trouble for something and a Program Director, Area Director, or even house manager can do the same thing and have their coworkers cover for them. They talk about chain of command a lot but when you actually follow it, it only comes back to bite you. If they want you gone your gone. I've seen it happen to two house mangers where one was lied on and almost faced criminal charges (now dismissed) and the other forced to leave or face a charge that was not their fault for problem that happened before they got there. It's all basically like a bad toxic parent and family. You can speak out to what's going on, but they refuse to listen or get mad because you're pointing it out. They speak In a raised voice, you match it ad get called disrespectful. You point out that they are doing the same thing and it's apparently how they talk. You talk about something private that's going on in your life between a manger or program Director and the next thing you know all your coworkers know.
