Pros

The only positive working for Indiana MENTOR was knowing you were helping people and making a difference.

Cons

This company pays very little to begin with, and does not offer merit-based raises. In the years I was with the company, there was one across-the-board 3% increase in salaries in my division. Morale was always low, turnover was extremely high, and thus, there was no real organizational structure or adequate supervision/management. Supervisors and managers would quit after a few months. This is due in part to upper management. Very poor leadership. Company structure was very sales-oriented for a social services company. Employees were working there to help people, not to help the company turn profit. Outdated office space, technology, lack of IT and proper software.

Pros

Experienced gained in working with the population.

Cons

Upper administration has no clue what they are doing. Low pay, understaffed and complain about giving overtime to cover shifts. Refuse to listen to reason when allegations have been made by disgruntled employees against lower management, they only interview the ones having problems and not the staff that are happy and doing a good job. They will throw someone under the bus and use them as a scapegoat in a heartbeat to save their own behind. Very inconsistent in disciplinary actions. Treat their employees HORRIBLY!! Clinical supervisions are a joke. They are unethical and will write someone up or even fire them for allegedly using a cuss word but when it is proven that someone has abandoned clients in the community they do nothing about it. I hope the REBA shuts them down. "Do no harm" is one of the main tenets of the behavioral health profession but they seem to be getting away with doing just that.

Pros

--I love working with the variety of clients that are served. -Assisting physically disabled adults in thier day to day needs. Assisting Mentally challenged individuals with thier day to day needs and encouraging thier social growth. Making thier lives just a little bit better and easier. - Clients that allowed me to see things through thier perspective. That part of the job is extremely rewarding : ) -Working with a variety of individual on a day to day basis instead of the same 3 or 4 people every day.One day I might have 3 clients and the next day 10. --If I can make a client who has had a rough day laugh by the end of my time with them that is a good day. -CPR training -First Aid training -The ability to think on my feet and adapt my approach to the individual client on given day. Approach situations with more then one course of action if need be.

Cons

--Nepotism. Older individuals being passed over or promotion in favor of someone younger but with less experience even though education background is similar. --Lack of consistency with scheduling, i.e. under scheduled or double scheduled with another staff for the same individual client. -- People put in management positions that lacked leadership ability, organizational skills as well as time managment skills. --10-14 hour shifts more then once a week. It makes it extremely difficult to maintain that family relationship and connection. --- Poor pay--Not looking at what individuals bring to the table already in relation to payscale when they are hired, i.e. years in this field already with another company, college education/degrees. -Being told to keep (the cellphone I pay for) on so they can get a hold of me when I am not working other people being told to take thier work phone on vacation with them. -Money being spent out of workers indivual pocket for mileage expenses
