Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, although we were disappointed to hear about your experience. Administration changes are difficult to predict and manage when given such short notice, and we apologize for the challenges that occurred because of this. We appreciated our employees understanding during the interim and had ensured that the Director was available and present to offer additional support and guidance during that transition period. Thank you

Pros

The work itself can be rewarding emotionally

Cons

Were unethical at the time of employment, first time tasing had no backs on any clients. Lost a lot of hours because clients were sleeping or missing appointments. Management gave little to no support.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Being a TSS can be challenging due to circumstances that may be out of your realm of control, but the work itself is rewarding, just as you had mentioned. We were deeply concerned to see your comment regarding ethics, and the Director of BHRServices would have been available to address your concerns while employed. We would strongly encourage you to share more information with Human Resources at humanresources@twponessa.com. Again, thank you for the review.

None. Don't even bother applying here
