Pros
it is easy to become complacent in this position because you know this is good for job security. It is very hard for people to get fired from this company. There are so many rude, uneducated people working for Mentor in Los Angeles areas that do things that should normally get them fired, but doesn't.
Cons
Companies max pay for a DSP is $12.50/hour. No raises even with good reviews. I have been working for the same company in several areas. In all of 6 years we got two bonuses at Christmas time. The second year i was employed , our xmas bonus was $300, but they took out $150 in taxes and the fifth year we got a bonus of $150, but $75 went to taxes. They say the company is doing great, and they are constantly opening up more day programs and group homes, but there is no talk for raises, bonuses or incentives.
