People Incorporated

I worked for people inc for an extended period of time. I was able to advance a few times which was nice. A restructure model in management caused some of us to take a pretty hefty pay cut while others got a large raise. Lower management was promoted into upper management and office politics became more important then job knowledge or performance. I found myself doing my job as well as my immediate supervisors job through numerous supervisors. Upper management made me jump through massive hoops for a promotion and constantly gave me bogus reasons on why I was not ready to advance, in reality this was because I often vocalized that I was burnt out from doing my supervisors job with no appreciation and absolutely no work and home life balance.  It seems as though if you’re buddy buddy with a director you’re in the clear, but cross them once and your career is doomed. From wearing jeans to the office or venting your concerns a small mistake could cost you a promotion or raise. Upper management could care less about your job or the clients you serve as long as they are out the door by 5pm you are disposable. If you work here please do not bend over backwards for them because it will go unoticed and unappreciated. The clients and staff were amazing.i was incredibly comfortable in the home I worked in most likely due to the fact that I was there more than I was home. People incorporated has immense potential but the employee treatment has turned into a complete disgrace over the last 3 years.

Job was good at first felt like a cool laid back place where I could take care of people and make some money. The job taught me a lot about going out of my comfort zone, empathy, and how to take care of myself sometimes on those hard days by taking care of others. But now it’s like the company treats clients and workers like they’re a dime a dozen. Staffing is short so you constantly get called about picking up ridiculously long shifts or pulled left and right to other houses with as much overtime to put you in the grave. They just want a body to pick up shifts to fit ratio doesn’t matter if you actually work. Hard work isn’t rewarded instead of a bonus we got a mug for Christmas last year :/ the place is meh. This company is filled with people brushing by and others who are overworked and under appreciated. This company used to pride themselves on being the path to opportunity and a few years ago I would have agreed, but it seems they wanna keep all us little dcps at the bottom scraping buy while the big guys at the top soak up the money and keep us short staffed and over stressed. Individuals lose out at the end of the day over inconsistency’s with staff and lack of opportunity’s given to them by the company and idk why our residents success was lost as the #1 priority.


People incorporated was a great job until i caught onto their sneakiness, You need to have connections and know people above you to be able to move up anywhere within the company, they force you to apply multiple times for APOM positions or POM positions and deny you just to hire someone with less experience then you from the outside, even if you've been working in the house for months and know the individuals VERY well. They put you on unpaid leave for months at a time and when you try to contact them they give you attitude and tell you to call back in a few weeks. Then when your found not guilty of whatever issue you got put on leave for whether it was a DPPC or staff allegations, they try to withhold your pay and not pay you for the time you were put on unpaid leave for the investigation. 

The individuals were great, some staff was amazing and i made some great friends out of it, but you can tell after working for this company for a while they are only about their money. The lives of the individuals being supported is not as important as the money they collect from them.

People Incorporated was amazing to work at, at first but as management changed and individuals were randomly moved from home to home things became more difficult. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic many of the people working at the day-program and office weren’t expected to work ( or were allowed to work remotely) while employees working at the homes were forced to work. More often than not employees at the homes were held to working more hours since individuals didn’t attend Day Program and had to pick up all kinds of extra hours.  I believe we were overworked and underpaid and more often than not employees were not the best and didn’t care for individuals quality of life but were just numbers to keep the homes in ratio. The better you were as an employee the more you were expected to do and you would be paid the same as co-workers that did the bare minimum. 

The agency offers many options for professional development, no matter in what division you work. There is a strong work-life balance, and the available days for time off, even starting as a new employee, are many more than almost any other employer in the area.

The best part of working here is the warm, inviting environment- employees love what they do and the people they work for. There is a strong collaboration among employees with a clear team approach. It's a culture that is unmatched in a typical office job.

There are many efforts to build a stronger team with activities outside of work time, such as a volleyball team and yoga classes. Also, there are great opportunities to volunteer in the community at the events the agency holds throughout the year.

A normal day at People Inc would be helping the clients make their lunches for day program the next day. I learn a lot of different things working with people with disabilities. The Management team was good, they always helped out in the residential houses when needed. We always worked as a team, everyon ehelped out making lunches and dinners and doing housework when needed. The hardest part of the job was seeing my clients go threw behavioral issues.
I likes most about People Inc was when a client got really excited about something you did for them such as take them shopping, helped them do household chores or even letting them help you prepare dinner.

People Incorporated offers a supportive environment where employees are encouraged to further develop their knowledge and skills. There are many opportunities for growth within the Agency, along with professional development. While the organization offers a generous benefits package, the truly unique quality that sets People Incorporated apart from the rest is how passionate the employees in every department feel about their work. It is clear that employees take great pride in the work they do, which makes being a member of team something both exciting and motivating.

The environment is amazing, people there are very helpful even including clients it is an awesome place to work. co workers are awesome and very very very helpful. They are willing to get out of your way even if they have a lot on there plate. The hardest part of the job really is just always having to sometimes re plan when certain strategy do not go the way it needed and thats ok it doesn't get as frustrated especially when coming up with a back up plan. The most enjoyable part of the job, is actually helping out the individual whether they are an adult or child.

i enjoyed my job here at people inc very much i got to be with amazing people that enjoed my company and was happy just to have me there taking care of them.It was a pleasure doing what i did because at the end of the day i know i made a difference in someones life that truly was greatful.I would love to be there again because i feel as a person i did the job i was required to do if not more. i made my residents feel safe and treated them like i would anyone else not as if they just had disibilities.

a typical day at work is like being on a long, fun drive. I've learned many types of sicknesses and learned to handle people when having syndromes. Management is well dealt with and everything is at place. Co-workers were fun and very understandable, trustworthy and good advisers. The hardest part of the job was lunch duty, when clients would hide foods that they were not suppose to eat or have fits for little reasons. The most enjoyable part of the job was going for a ride with clients and scrapbook with them.
