Enable, Inc.

Clients are great to work with, BUT the upper management and lack of any supervision and never knowing exactly who you are supposed to be talking to is very confusing and has constantly caused miscommunication from the company staff and telling employees what is expected and when you attempt a question they send you a Google clip of information you already located. No clarification and no supervision or feedback is provided and they will attempt to let go of staff using the "we are an at will employer". 

When asking a question they don't answer the question and give a remark of "rules change often", instead of just answering the question. 

I've worked in the medical field for over 15 yrs and it surprises me how unprofessional and cliche their staff are and high turn around of their management and supervisor staff happens all the time. 

Yes the pay is a perk but I'd rather make less than be treated so unprofessionally.

Pros:
You get paid a little higher than other organizations but the pay does not outweigh the treatment from management.  

Cons:
Upper management has high expectations with little to no follow through or feedback to teach what their expectations are so that you can be successful. Some staff will tell you, you can work overtime but another will tell you that you can't per OR law and another contradicted these two statements saying they can choose who is or is not allowed to work overtime which makes it extremely stressful for the staff trying to focus on the client over the available hours versus a company who hates paying overtime.

Very little training provided. People are put into positions with little or no training, and expected to work miracles with no support from upper management. 
The goal is to have a body in place. 
There are no guidelines or structure in place for anything.  
Disciplinary actions cannot be given to a staff who fails in their job performance unless approved by supervisor. Supervisors fail to approve disciplinary actions in fear of loosing  staff. However, when a bad situation arise due to bad job performance, the result is immediate termination.  
Enable is reactive and not proactive. 
Upper management needs to be held more accountable for their department. 
They make promises and lie about the services they provide in order to get more consumers. 
The solutions to their problems is to blame middle, lower management and staff. 

Horrible place to work. So many things are wrong with this agency. 

Per state law:full time employees are entitled to 40 hrs of sick day a year. However, Enable does not give its staff that option. Only PTO time is available and they put a cap on how many day you can use within a year. 

They will change your schedule from full time to part time with no notice no matter how long you been with them. The management team sucks..and DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR STAFF.  The pay is horrible! Definitely not a good place to work if you have a family of your own. The money you make can barely put food on the table or pay rent. They will use you up just to make sure the shifts are covered and then will give you their behinds to kiss. No room for growth. You don't know if you're going home at the end of your shift because they don't have any staff..I wonder why.  The communication level here is poor.

There have been great experiences had while working with Enable, Inc. Flexibility with each shift while having scheduled hours was wonderful to keep the workplace interesting.  A typical day at work included a variety of tasks ranging from in-home care to clerical duties. The most enjoyable part of this job would definitely have to be assisting with people get through their day as well as the reaction when a task is done by themselves when they thought they could not do it. The hardest part of my job would be when someone passes away. Have learned a lot of patience and gratitude with this job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company is excellent as long as you communicate with them; they stay on top of things. As a DSP and a parent of children with special needs, I find this company amazing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working this type of job is just stressfull overtime. Selfcare is a must!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Communicative, understanding  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Easy but you need patience it's like parenting a younger child but they are also your best friend. Finding that balance.

 The managers of the group homes work 7 days a week because there’s no staff, you will be forced to work at the day program because the day program is completely understaffed, I don’t see how the day program or the group homes are legally still running. Management asks new hires at orientation to work overtime prior to the new hires even completing training. If you are not management you looked at as less than. All they care about is the money that these consumers bring in. DO NOT WORK HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE A STRESSFUL WORK ENVIRONMENT.

Upper management only cares about the people they take of when the state gets involved. It all about money. House managers can't seem to run their houses without upper management overstepping them. Rely too much on outside agencies for staffing. Temp staff don't really care only there for a paycheck. Managers don't seem to know what's going on in their own houses and can't control their staff. DSP pay isn't great, for all the managers have to do their pay isn't great either.

There is no work life balance at this job. Officers of the agency have nasty attitudes and expect you to work with little pay. They have high expectations for their staff but the training is only for four days. Staff are not trained and do what they want because they lack training and commitment to the job. Only room for growth if they decided they like you or they need you badly, then everyone is nice. Benefits suck and HR is not available for support. This agency lacks team work.

It seemed like the team really wanted to make positive changes.  However, after working within the QA Department it became clear that leadership had no interest in making corrections. 

Staff were written up for calling out sick, (during the pandemic). Were often expected to overlook safety concerns, encouraged to lie during investigations. Good staff were put in impossible situations.  Stay AWAY!
