Pros

Flexibility in work hours is the only pro I can think of. The house I work for really tries to accommodate every person's hours that work best for them, their time off requests, and any adjustments that need to be made.

Cons

Management is terrible. Direct support staff is treated like the bottom of the food chain. You would think the people actually caring for the clients directly would be treated better, it's no wonder the turn over is so high. I have been with this company for over 3 years and am more than burnt out. I can't get management to hire on any more people to assist me and the program coordinator and site administrator says that my tasks are not their job so when I get overwhelmed caring for 5 clients by myself and ask for help, I do not get any help. Apparently, it is company policy that the program coordinator and site administrator do not do direct support tasks in a fear that boundary lines will get blurred and I would expect them to help when it wasn't needed. Sorry, but when the program coordinator is upstairs watching Family Guy episodes on her laptop and I am scrambling around trying to meet the needs of 5 clients I think that help is necessary. In my opinion respect should be a priority and less focus on the possibility of boundaries being blurred. We are overworked and underpaid for sure. My Program Coordinator gets paid more, works a lot less, and has taken more time off work because of her sick dog than I did when my mom died and three months later my sister died.

Pros

Good relations with PBS sometimes Good pay

Cons

Management is horrible. You may get a good house manger, but their supervisor are terrible. They all get together in some type of clique and even have favorite employees where they put them in a new position simply because of their connections. The Program Directors and Area Directors lie on employees just to cover up their involvement and save themselves from being written up. There is no fairness when working at this company. You can get in trouble for something and a Program Director, Area Director, or even house manager can do the same thing and have their coworkers cover for them. They talk about chain of command a lot but when you actually follow it, it only comes back to bite you. If they want you gone your gone. I've seen it happen to two house mangers where one was lied on and almost faced criminal charges (now dismissed) and the other forced to leave or face a charge that was not their fault for problem that happened before they got there. It's all basically like a bad toxic parent and family. You can speak out to what's going on, but they refuse to listen or get mad because you're pointing it out. They speak In a raised voice, you match it ad get called disrespectful. You point out that they are doing the same thing and it's apparently how they talk. You talk about something private that's going on in your life between a manger or program Director and the next thing you know all your coworkers know.
