Pros

The company does care about their clients with developmental disabilities

Cons

The owner does not know how to run a business effectively. He hires "managers" who can't do anything without him trying to hold your hand and acting like everyone but himself is incompetent and inexperienced -- he knows all. The advice and directions he gives usually aren't the best options, and he is unwilling to hear or discuss opinions other than his own, unless you're one of the few who he gets along with. He does not treat his company employees (particularly the front-line staff) well at all. As the HR manager, he had me participate in discriminatory hiring practices and unethical/unfair treatment of employees. Everything to him is on a "case by case basis", which really means every choice has to go through him and is dependent upon his mood. The staff are paid below company standard, offers no benefits (even little things like PTO or raises). He also has everyone sign non-competes and is thinking about arbitration agreements, since people want to leave as soon as they start, and he knows legal concerns are soon approaching. I took the job going in knowing the business was not going in a positive direction, but I had great intentions on making changes. I quickly learned that was an impossible task.

Pros

The culture is cool, you get free lunch on your first day working in order to get you more acclimated to the environment. The work is chill, there is not much to do so you can largely sit and work at your own pace. The people are kind and laid-back.

Cons

No one is communicative, as they tell you to do something without much guidance. There is a constant unnerving feeling that you should be doing something, but there is nothing to do.

Pros

Fair compensation, the owner of the company has a good heart and is hard working.

Cons

Management's fear of a lawsuit kept them from being transparent about job description. The workspace is disorganized and is left as a last priority. Owner also displayed consistent issues with a lack of respect his female staff. There is only room for collaboration if you are a man on their employ.
