Pros

The clients are amazing, too bad you are not given the resources nor support to succeed. You also have some incredibly dedicated staff... Who are treated poorly and verbally abused and operate from a place of fear.

Cons

Leadership is schizophrenic. Two people leading, only one is right, both they both tell you what to do. Founder speaks down to staff and is derogatory and it is defended by the Executive director. Contacted nurse... Watch out for her. Threats made staff to myself and told "they are just a little intense". You want to work in this field? Work for the Arc or Options for All or HGH. They at least don't micromanage and have a clear chain of command.

Pros

Promising Futures Inc. stands as a beacon of hope and commitment in the realm of developmental disabilities services, addressing the critical gaps in support for individuals who are often overlooked or underserved in our community. This organization's unwavering dedication to those with severe communication and behavior issues sets it apart, aiming to transform lives that are at risk of state hospitalization, repeated failure, idleness, lack of progress in skill development, and even abuse. As the Executive Director, I feel it is important that the community is aware that the heart of Promising Futures' mission lies in creating a supportive environment that not only addresses the unique needs of this population but also fosters measurable success and individual independence. By providing day program and residential services, Promising Futures is not only addressing immediate needs but also challenging societal norms that dictate limitations on certain segments of the population. I am proud to share that we specialize in Autism and Behavior Management which showcases a nuanced understanding of the complexities associated with developmental disabilities. Promising Futures believes in Active Treatment and learning for its clients, setting a precedent for the incorporation of evidence-based practices in the field. The commitment to developing quality individualized day treatment vocational programs and residential services further underlines the organization's dedication to tailoring support to the unique challenges each individual faces. Promising Futures does not only aim to meet the immediate needs of its clients but also envisions a long-term impact on the broader community. The aspiration to develop a continuum of day services for those whose needs are not adequately met speaks to the organization's foresight and commitment to improving standards and practices in San Diego County and beyond, and I am proud to be part of it. Whether you want to give back by joining our team, or finding placement for your child, Promising Futures, is beyond the standards. Promising Futures provides an excellent benefit package, does not put a cap on earnings, offers overtime, provides extensive training and growth opportunities, and the clients are the BEST!!!!

Cons

None at this time, change in management is a good thing.
