Community Support Services, Inc.

Community Support Services, Inc. is dedicated to establishing rapport and providing support to its variety of clients--both children and adults with challenging disabilities.  Community Support Services, Inc., is also dedicated to the mental, physical, and spiritual health of its employees.  There is constant training and updated material being provided to us.  I do this part-time because I have a full-time job as a teacher.  I visit clients in their homes and provide constructive counseling support to help them manage their daily lives in spite of their disabilities.  The hardest part of the job is when clients are not truthful because it becomes more difficult to address any problems they are having.  The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting different people and seeing the difference/progress that is actually being made in their lives.  This job has taught me how to be more accepting of people and to respect people and their differences.

How this company handles money is very sketchy. Every client has food stamps but we can only use how much they want us to. We don't know how the rest is used. Management makes job titles that have no meaning. You get promoted but you still get paid the same, just with more work. Direct supports have to find their own coverage because we are very short staffed. We have bonuses but if you do not meet all the criteria you do not get all of it, as well as the bonus you do get being taxed. We do not know where the remaining bonus goes. Many houses owned by this company are in complete shambles and gross living conditions. We hire incompetent staff and management who are only in it for the money and not caring for the actual well-being of who they are in charge of. Working here will only burn you out, there is nothing you gain personally from this other than losing the person you were before you worked here.

All of the participants are awesome and most of the staff are great. However the upper management will put more time and effort into drama than what is really going on with the participants. This place call OIG in a heartbeat because staff doesn’t like other staff members and will fabricate things to the magnitude of you losing your future career goals instead of looking into the bigger issues. This place favors certain staff members and will take their word on made up situations versus the person that is reporting the incidents. It’s staff using company vehicles for personal use along with having their spouse in the cilas staying overnight with them. Upper management will be notified of similar situation and nothing is looked into. 

When I first started working there I kept hearing that the company was understaffed. As time went on it continue to be understaffed and remained that way the entire seven years I was there. There's a high turnover rate and management and never seems to be on your side. It's like staff versus management. It's uncomfortable,  hostile, and there is no room for moving up unless you are related to someone, you're not making any more money then you did when you started.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is dated in ideology and practice. New ideas are occasionally heard but rather given the support needed to get programs up and running. No semblance of work/life balance to be expected. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Staff members are great. Management sucks.

Great people to work for. Love this job, but unfortunately, Im not getting enough hours. Every day we pick up clients and take them to their appointments. When they are done, they call us and we take them home. I have learned to be patient with people and care for those whom are mentally ill. There is no hard part, just need to have a heart.

I worked as a Respite Worker. My case manager was super sweet, organized, thoughtful, and well versed with policies, laws, and regulations. She worked hard to match me with great families. There was one family that was not a good match and my case manager was super supportive. Great resource for the community. 

I would not recommend this company unless they do a significant overhaul on quality employees and leadership. The ability to give back to the community is a plus but, morale is almost nonexistent. Front line workers are under appreciated, clients deserve more as some do not even see their case manager monthly.   

My Supervisor was understanding and I believe she was the best Supervisor I ever had and  working with other people was great. I also had a chance to take a position in Medical Records. I learned new skills from Medical Records.
