Pros

You are working with persons who have Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI), which is rewarding, as you help each (those who are "help-able") relearn skills they had before the brain injury. It takes patience sometimes, but overall, you can see the progress in some of them. Very rewarding to be someone who brought others back to their normal lives after they had suffered horrible life-changing circumstances.

Cons

Too much paperwork to do each day, for no particular reason; they do not warn you upon agreeing to the job that the physical requirements are excessive (lifting 50+ pounds, which is not usually an issue, but when it causes an injury to you as an employee, they will not accept responsibility -- they will say that it was a "pre-existing injury," even though you had been doing your job just fine, until that day of the injury). "Let's avoid liability, at all costs, even if it costs someone his/her job," is the company philosophy.

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.
