A typical day would consist of setting up for breakfast, supplies, make sure to get food from naval personnel. Some employee's where  hard to to work with, where negative, made co-workers scared, so they had to work with them to get job done without incidents. Working with disabled adults, with some non- disabled as well. They where the problem ones (non disabled). The most enjoyable part was the actual job, the majority of employee's where well disciplined, paperwork was fairly easy, my immediate manager was no problem, we worked well together. The Managers immediate boss didn't understand how the job worked, would let employee's go over my managers head and would take what they would say and not except mine.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great mission. Helping people with disabilities is very rewarding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No support from management. Senior and executive leadership will say one thing to your face and do something else behind your back. It's a toxic work environment and management fosters mistrust in the workplace.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is toxic and management is two faced.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Poor communication dominates and there is a lot of confusion coming from management.

Implement person centered plan , assessments and develop task for individuals with goals that need to be met. Community service Meals on Wheels, Weekly outings, Exercise. Provide transportation home for the individuals. Support individuals with feeding, preparing meals. Administer Medication . The co- workers friendly , management good. The most enjoyable part of the Job is looking at the smiles on the individuals face after having a wonderful outing shopping, going for lunch.

Have been working for this company for less than a year. Started applying for job applications after only a month of working. Deception is used to get things done, management does not care about their employee's at all, complaints don't get dealt with, the buildings shouldn't even pass inspection. The president should clean house before more of its employees leave. The company has a high turnover rate for a reason, would not recommend at all, only am staying for the associates.

Management had favoritism in certain staff, while the other staff had to encounter the wrath of those who were favored along with observing the mistreatment. Many days of working double the duty when others were capable but chose not to work.  The best part to all of the negativism, that staff was able to learn how to multitask, complete the task and treat others as they would want to be treated.

Not for the faint at heart, working with adults with disabilities can be very rewarding and good for the soul. Unfortunately, working for a non-profit also has it downside with pay being much less than what you would make with a for-profit company. Upper management is unconcerned with how their decisions affect day to day operations so the ability to stand up to and advocate for the people working for you and those unable is advocate for themselves is key.

The clients served are very abusive.  They have aggressive behaviors.  Management doesn't allow staff to take medical leave if they are injured or in pain from the assault.  Staff are required to receive medical attention and come back to work ASAP.  If not, staff are terminated.  Action only takes place if the managers become injured from clients abusive behaviors.  Staff are under paid with no benefits.  I wouldn't dare recommend anyone to work there. Worst place to work when it come to working with adults with mental disabilities.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with awesome people and extremely rewarding! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I have none! It's a very good environment and supervisor is awesome! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No stress! It's a very rewarding feeling accomplishing work task and getting complemented on what has been done. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Day full of tasks and no pressure, it's easy to work hard here.

it was something i adapted to and loved .i got along with all my co-workers and learned a lot about my job requirement and i learned a lot about some other job skills on my break time and after working hours. there was nothing really hard about none of the work there in both companies. i work well with people and i get along with my co-workers. i am real eager to excell in my trade and be the best at what i do.

The individuals served are beautiful people who deserve care, patience and compassion.
The manager is experienced in direct support but the manager is not experienced in supporting staff.
Issues can get looked over, and when brought to the management, are set to the 'back burner'. Possibly due to errors in the chain of command. Sad.
