Pros

Paid holidays, benefits, and passionate hard-working front line staff

Cons

The CEO's big plan to raise salaries and tell all current staff that they were expendable has backfired. Majority of the hardest working staff have left, which is why you will find the incredibly large number of vacancies especially in leadership roles. Staff leaving are expected to give notice upwards of 30 days, but were often times were asked to leave on the spot or earlier, leaving people scrambling for how they would pay their bills or feed their families after following the policies of the agency. Leadership would often change their tune when convenient for them. Many staff were denied leadership roles until the agency became desperate enough and then say "You are a great fit for this role!" You can clearly tell several of the 5 star reviews are written by leadership in an attempt to fluff the numbers. Staff were often guilted into writing positive reviews and contribute money out of their own paychecks to give back to the agency. If you didn't you weren't "on the right bus". Clearly the bus has driven off a cliff at this point. If you aren't receiving your own mental health treatment prior to starting this job, get ready, because you are going to need it! #Alltheshame

Pros

I have worked here, left here and returned again. I recently read a Glassdoor review by a disgruntled MA who said she was disrespected and treated like a cult. It is criminal what people can say anonymously. COWARDS. I promise SHE was a poor performing employee. Good news is the poor performers can’t stay at DFL. They always fail. Performance expectations to serve the clients is really HIGH. Thank goodness.

Cons

The workforce has deteriorated to almost unrecognizable lazy, no time management skills, no people skills, and ZERO commitment to the MISSION TO SERVE OTHERS.
