Do not work for this agency if you are looking for job security and advancement. You will be burdened with the high demanding workload, horrible lack of training, severe lack of staff and NO support from Administration. WORST OF ALL…to add insult to injury, as a Program Director your salary will be approximately $10K-$15K less than your Sr. House manager ( a.k.a Sr. FLD), who is your direct SUBORDINATE. I don’t know of any agency where the staff below you makes more money than you, on top of living in the home for free. There is NO work-life balance. You work 9-5 in the office and then you are required to be available all evening for phone calls from staff and/or family members of the individuals.
You will be on call at least once per month and you constantly have to find staffing coverage for homes that can’t keep permanent staff..at the same time meeting deadlines for things that you’ve never been thoroughly taught to do.  There also seems to be a lack of care and consideration from Administration for the individuals they serve.

Only Pro: The individuals and the DSP’s are awesome!!

If you are looking for a super supportive environment where your hard work is valued and rewarded, look elsewhere.  During my final months there, every employee was walking on eggshells at all times.  There is no support from above, and management fosters an environment where issues cannot be addressed and corrected because it is seen as negativity, and you are viewed as a trouble maker.  Speaking of management, my direct supervisor was the worst person I have ever worked for.  The micromanaging from someone who had never worked in the trenches with the individuals was insufferable.  However, this could never be addressed because the person was known to be a favorite of the supervisor above them, and you were never able to discuss any concerns due to this “protection.”  All in all, I could never recommend working as a Program Director/Manager for this company because it will likely be detrimental to your mental, if not physical, health. 

Bello Machre is an exceptional company to work for. The management and leadership care deeply for the people we serve and for their employees. The non-profit and DDA regulated world is highly taxing in general and it is very hard to find a life-work balance. Yet, this DEPENDS on the position you take. If you are apart of the residential team, you will have a difficult time finding work-life balance. If you are in business or support services, its easier to find that balance- even though there will be days where you will not. It is very hard work but if you enjoy giving back to the community and to people you will find it a rewarding experience and supportive atmosphere.

My typical work day is 16 hours long, Saturday and Sunday- every other weekend. I come in at 7am and I don't leave until 11pm. My direct supervisor is amazing, he's really flexible while working with me and getting more hours or taking specific days off. I don't have any co-workers that work with me during my shift. On a good day the on call will send someone to help for a few hours, other than that it's just me and my clients for the entire weekend. The most difficult part of the job is when one of the clients pass's away or gets injured. The most enjoyable is being able to help some of these individuals achieve their goals and progress in life.

Bello Machre is a great place to work with an amazing workplace culture.  All departments and levels of the organization put strong emphasis on the mission of providing a lifetime of loving care. 
From the top down, management actively engages with employees and makes changes based on employee feedback.  For example, major changes were made to this year's medical benefits because of employee feedback.  Speaking of, Bello Machre pays 100% of employee medical without requiring a High-Deductible Plan.  
Work/life balance is always a struggle and flexibility varies depending on department and role.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The organization care so much about their workers and the individuals they serve. Health insurance is 100% covered and their training programs are top notch. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Their is nothing stressful here because I get all the support I needed at all times.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment and culture are conducive and flexible. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day at work is normal, do your job to your best of your ability then you will be fine.

Great Company from the Director to the CFO after that it falls off due to some management issues. It could be better by removing some management who uses their powers to prevent upper mobility and teamwork. 
The culture is to better the lives of people with disabilities but i believe a few people forget the main mission. 
You learn to love those you take care of as a family member and dislike when you see that some forget that.
The enjoyable part is that you see the smile on the people face when you take the time to care and listen to them regardless of their disability.  One Team, One Vision and One Dream means a lot to you and the ones you car for.

Bello pays it's employees at a higher rate than many other companies in this field. Benefits are also fully paid for by the company. Plenty of opportunity for Overtime. And by opportunity I mean you will be working at least 60hrs a week sometimes more. Be prepared to work the overnight shift one day and then day shift the next. Forget having any sense of work life balance, this job will become your life. Free rent means you get to be homeless if it doesnt work out. 

That said, the guys who live in the homes are all great and often can make the challeneges worth it. It can be rewarding just make sure you are prepared to give a lot to the job. 

I came to Bello Machre as an intern and was upfront about my disability and my symptoms would cause me to be out. They agreed and assured me they were understanding, however at my halfway mark evaluation they said that they were giving me low marks due to being unreliable. I understand partially, however i can’t control the symptoms. I was out one day after this meeting and they fired me right away. If you have a disability and assume a place that serves people with disabilities will be a nice, understanding place to work, please continue your search. This is not the place for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The top administrative staff  make you feel valued, belonging and respected.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes dealing with the  challenges of life and  balancing how to work with the  people you work with. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All staff are treated like a family member, even if you meet  someone for the first time,  you will feel very  welcome. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Having fun with the people you work with makes the day enjoyable
