TWC Has No Desire to Work With VR Clients - Senior VR Counselor Texas Workforce Commission Employee Review

Pros

They work for employers. TWC inherited the Vocational Rehab program thanks to the Texas Legislature who thought "TWC places people in jobs and they are impressive with stat's". Just because it looked good on paper didn't mean they knew (or wanted to know) anything about working with people with disabilities, accommodations for job placement, etc.

Cons

They are so good as slicing and dicing data, that's all they do. They took over the Division of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services and micromanaged it to something ineffective. First, they lowered the educational standards for VR Counselors, then they gave the counselors so much busywork they have no time for anything else. But hey... TWC can make a nice report from all that so-called data! This is what happens when accountants take over the priesthood.

Pros

Passionate co-workers who want to do a good job and make an impact. Good benefits and retirement structure. Leave - plenty of time off, easy to bank and use when needed. Insurance (medical specifically) 100% paid for employees and is very good. I hear others say 'it used to be better", but as someone who came from private industry, my opinion is it very good. Co-pays, etc are affordable. I do carry dependent coverage; and yes, compared to private industry, very affordable.

Cons

Pay is low..Can you afford to work for them???.. but benefits are very nice.
