BLESS LLC

A typical day at work would include caring for individuals with DD along with paperwork, cleaning, doctor's appointments, managing staff, and coordinating with other agencies.
What I believe I learned, I learned a lot about the DD community and management skills.
Management needs major improvement on communication, appreciation, listening skills, attitude, favoritism, support, consistency, and professionalism. I'm not sure how to categorize this but needing to know when it's appropriate to fire someone. I've seen some shady things happen to individuals and all they did was move the staff to another home in which more things happened each time until they either left or was eventually fired.
The workplace culture that's outlined in the company is a great theory from the owner and I have much respect for him however he is so involved in his company right down to working in the homes which is great but I think he's so busy he doesn't always see the bigger picture and depends on his second in command and there in lies the problem (not referring to his wife).
The hardest part of the job (admin side) is dealing with management or (in home side) behaviors. No real proper training on how to handle behaviors or how to properly de-escalate or redirect.
The most enjoyable part of the job is most definitely the individuals and their success! 

I have been with bless for 3years and 4 months I love taking care of my clients and staff I am a home manager for about 3 years now before bless I took care of the elderly and people with disabilities for another place and loved it there to I make more money at bless.  And I have meet some great people and have a bowne with two of the lady's in the office.  There are great things about bless. The way alot of us care for are clients. There are 3 different levals clients . I take care of level 1 clients that just need a little help. I have had to take a fue days off do to a family emergency and they was understanding and caring ❤  you get vacation time and you can take a day or two off with out pay but after you are here a year you get vacation time. I would recommend this company to my friend and family too. So if you are looking for a good job come to bless . 

This company willrun you in the ground and
then take you off the schedule on your way
to a shift with no call or text from them,
They are very unprofessional! Also they will
take your actual amount of money you
agree to and pay you out at 10 dollars on
your last check. They also have been know
to reverse someone's paycheck back out of
there account and then pay them out at 10
dollars and take their 1400 dollar check and turn it into 500 dollars. So if you want to
work for a company that feels They can take
all the hours you work and pay you less just
because they are mad then go for it
Otherwise I would look else where

When I was working with my clients, It was like going and hanging with a friend! Training and all was great and they are will to go as far as they can to help you! You can't always listen to all the reviews you must experience things for yourself! If you are a caring person and you do not have a degree this is the job for you!They are very caring and I look forward to working with them in the future it is just not in my cards right now to work with them! Thank you for the opportunity! I can wait to go back!

Taking a job at BLESS was one of the best career moves I could have ever made. Going in I had very little experience in working with disabled individuals. Through the caring and compassionate people I have met in this company from, fellow employees all the way up to the owners, I have learned so much. They care about their employees greatly.
With BLESS I feel I have a good work/ home life balance. Upper management try to help you out in anyway they can, and have genuine compassion for the work we do. Between the individuals we care and the people I work with I feel I have complete job satisfaction!

I worked for this company for 6 months, this was the worst job I have ever had in my life!
They are way under staffed and push and push for you to do more and more. They do not care about you our your family! 
I worked in a home where the staff that was to come in and relive me didn’t show up over and over, leaving me there to work many shifts in arrow, up to 48 hours at time.  When I contacted the manager, I was told if I leave they would get me for abandonment and to “suck it up” that it wasn’t like I wasn’t going to get paid for it. 
The individuals were great and need a company much better then this!

This job has definitely helped me learn to appreciate the littlest things in life. For the most part the employees work well together and are willing to help out when you are in a bind.
