Pros

Mission driven organization that is trying to do the right thing by their clients- that includes everyone from the direct care staff up to the CEO. I've been with the company for over 15 years and could fill a book with heart warming stories. If you work here, you have the chance to make a difference in the lives of others. I mean a real difference. From offering a safe space for clients who have suffered horrible tragedies to teaching them skills they can use in their daily lives to become independent. Its beautiful. Not only can you go to work feeling like you're contributing to a meaningful mission, but you can form life-long friendships with your coworkers who are with you through the good times and the bad. After all, these are folks that form your supports- both emotionally and physically. You will share deep emotional experiences at work that are hard to find in most other settings. The organization is constantly looking at how to be a better employer. Don't read the sour grapes on some of these reviews. Annual bonuses and salary adjustments happen rather frequently- moreso than what you'll be finding in other nonprofits. It also invests in its employees in the form of tuition reimbursement- which I've taken advantage of in getting my degree. The minimum expectation? Get good grades to qualify for the reimbursement. There are opportunities for advancement, with the tuition reimbursement opening doors, but also for travel and training. All you have to do is show interest. The company even developed an alternative to restraint and seclusion, which was a game changer for me in my work. I've seen it work, and its helped me or my clients get hurt like we used to back when we restrained constantly.

Cons

Working in this field is tough. I've been fortunate to see other agencies that work with similar populations and they all know this to be true. When you're working with folks who have the behaviors we see (i.e. aggression, self harm, acting out), you are exposed to things that you typically don't see in other work settings. Its what you sign up for. From my experience, people are either cut out for this kind of work, or they're not. You have to have a thick skin, and be ready for what will inevitably happen. From the looks of some of these reviews, you can read it- where they've not stayed long and complain about how dangerous it is, or how the alternative strategies the company has developed isn't safe. What a crock. I've seen it work, in their toughest setting, at the residential treatment center, so I know it works. But like anything, the staff member has to give it a chance. I'd also bet the ones who complain about "using pillows" are the same folks who were constantly trying to control their clients through fear or intimidation. If you're into that sort of thing, keep away. Or if you’re here already- get lost. The rest of us don't want you on board. We’re here to help folks.

Thank you for the wonderful review! You’re right – it does take commitment to work with our clients, but making a difference in the lives of children and adults with special needs is incredibly rewarding. We are happy to hear that you appreciate our annual bonuses and were able to take advantage of our tuition reimbursement program. We are proud to have you as a member of our team and are grateful for the hard work you put in day in and day out. If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts about Grafton more widely, please reach out to communications@grafton.org.

Pros

Great people to work with, great benefits and perks such as tuition assistance now paid in advance and both a pay increase and a bonus this year. This company really tries to make the employees feel valued and appreciated. I have been with the company for 17 years, and have stayed because of the wonderful people I work with and the positive work environment.

Cons

At times, certain positions can be stressful due to the nature of the job, but to be expected in the field we are in.
