Merakey reviews

The building was filthy. They had to have dogs come in every month and check for bed bugs. The clients are also filthy.

The benefits are Highmark, so if you're in the Pittsburgh area they are pretty much useless because of the UPMC monopoly. If you have a pulse and are above the mental cognition of the clients, they will hire you. I had a job that required me to go from group home to group home and I honestly had trouble at times telling who the clients were and who the support staff were. The Pittsburgh area is also kind of a mess, because it used to be a different company called AVS before NHS bought it. I did not work there at the time, but everyone left from the AVS days is kind of stuck there because their much better time off benefits and pay are grandfathered in, and they would lose money working elsewhere. Frankly if I had an intellectually disabled relative I would not let them stay in a NHS facility. The whole thing is an incompetently run house of cards, and I feel like the upper management know that; it's all about stuffing their pockets with as much money as possible before a major investigation shuts the whole thing down.
