Baroco Corporation

Let me preface by saying this; 
Your management will be the backbone to how you operate on a day to day basis. I came into this job with an open mind, but was greeted with some hostility and little to no support. I felt supported by one of my managers and that was it. 

A typical day would be; 
Getting in at 8 am and prepping your class/room  for the day. It can be things as simple as preparing snacks for clients to adjusting the monthly/weekly/daily calendar or schedule. Once the clients come in, you begin the activities you have planned out for the day. (Most activities are planned out a month in advance). If you are a full-timer you are expected to run through programs with your client and make sure they are meeting their goals. If you are a part-timer you will be managing the class/room alongside a full-timer. You will carry out the daily activities until it’s time to leave. (Activities can include; Watching news, reading, coloring etc etc) you will also have to toilet and feed some clients as well. 

Full-Timers: You have paper work that you have to fill out daily, data that you have to input in the computer quarterly and also write in the clients behavior books daily. You have to practice programs with clients every day and make sure that they are making progress. You will work along the part-timer to manage the class. 

Part-Timers: You will have to work with the full-timer to plan the monthly schedule/activities as well as managing the class/room and writing in the behavior books. 

Pay! 
Both Full and Part Time made 20$ hourly, at least in my area. The only thing that separated the two were the responsibilities and a thirty minute shift difference. (Full-Time left at 3:30 and Part-Time left at 3:00). 

My issue lied with the same pay, although the work a full timer has is different as far as responsibilities go. The environment was extremely catty and lots of gossiping. It felt as if they preyed on the new people simply because of the fact that they were new and would find any excuse not to like them. 

My tips: 

Ask several questions at the interview, make sure you are getting paid fairly and try to ignore the cattiness. If you know your skills can be applied somewhere better…do it! There’s no room for promotions  at all. 


Hands down the most toxic job I ever had. Tons of gossip and favoritism (this includes the management). Staff sadly express intimidation to stand up to supervisor. Supervisor often humiliates staff in front of others (including clients) and this is even for the smallest mistakes. Lack of training and what you are trained in clashes with what the supervisor wants or what’s stated in policy. Also lots of treating clients as children instead of adults, such as baby talking. Staff and higher ups often tell clients things such as “I love you”, something all other agencies I’ve work for trained us that this kinda of talk is inappropriate due to this causing clients to become too attached which could do them harm in the long run especially if this staff was to leave the agency. There’s many other ways to connect with the clients and show you care instead of showing that kind of affection which could cause major harm mentally in the long run. The job itself is great if you enjoy working with individuals with disabilities. Sadly the individuals who work there… not so much. Very mean girls clique like. I’d say the pay isn’t so bad but because this has been the most uncomfortable work environment I ever been in, I rather take a pay cut and work elsewhere. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hours are great.  The clients/individuals are amazing to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management.   Favoritism.  You could be there for 20 years and you make the same as someone just being hired.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful.  Lots of favoritism

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy.  Good days bad days.  Lots of ADLs, objectives feedings activities paperwork

I can't say enough about how much I love this job. The staff are so supportive and helpful. The director and clinical coordinator are encouraging and extremely approachable. Also, working with cognitively disabled individuals is such a rewarding experience. Not only do I feel like I'm making a difference in their lives, but I'm having fun doing it!

You will be expected to do much, with little resource. Consumers must be engaged in continual activity, often with projects selected by management. Projects will be demanding, and materials at hand will be extremely limited. Generally, projects will not interest consumers, and the lack of interest and material will become a wall. This wall will reflect on you, as you are evaluated.  

I was fortunate enough to find an organization where I started at an entry level position and worked my way up to supervision of 3 large Day Habilitation centers.   I found Baroco to be a professional  and honest company that cared for their staff and their clients.  The owner was available to everyone and always heard both sides of a story before acting.  Great place to work.

Management is the issue. I loved my clients, they were great. But management wouldn’t follow correct protocol when some things happen. Sometimes you’re left alone to do all of the bathrooms and your director is just having fun with the clients. An unfair environment and unsafe for clients. Healthcare is too expensive and you don’t have a chance at advancement.

Everyday, adults with disabilities would come into the Baroco day program, work on their individual goals, interact with each other, and learn/experience something new and beneficial to their lives. The staff was generous, experienced, patient, optimistic, and helpful in their guidance through the day-to-day. Everyone had a great time being there everyday.

Overall, it's a good workplace with friendly staff. There's a lot of PTO, although the lack of other benefits is disappointing. I find it puzzling that casemanagers receive the same hourly rate as other staff despite differing responsibilities. On the bright side, the hours and flexibility for mothers are a plus.

I love working for this company because the students are so loving and they enjoy doing crafts every week with the theme we pick. We get to work with them one on one and see the progress they’re making as they engage in the crafts.
