While the organization clearly has good intentions, there are some areas that are in need of improvement, particularly in the area of staff development.

One of the key issues i have observed is the limited new hire training provided to staff members. Given the complex nature of the community we serve, it is essential that staff receive comprehensive training to effectively fulfill their roles. Furthermore, there seems to be a lack of follow-through when it comes to implementing systems for data collection and analysis, which can be frustrating for staff members who are expected to adhere to these processes.

Additionally, there appears to be a lack of investment in staff well-being and morale. For instance, the lack of breaks for residential staff and the absence of an employee appreciation program can contribute to a lack of motivation and engagement among the team. It is important to create a supportive and positive work culture that encourages employees to excel and feel valued.

Lastly, there may be a disconnect in upper management in terms of empathy and leadership skills. It is crucial for leaders to exhibit compassion and provide guidance to support and inspire their teams effectively.

I believe that addressing these issues could lead to a more positive and productive work environment for all staff members. 

This is a horrible Company to work for, upper management they don't care about the individuals, all they care about is looking good. They don't care about staff, its all about the  fundraise and collecting money. The behavioral team is just as horrible, all they have you do is take data, and no changes in the individual's behavior. Every time somethings goes wrong they always find away to blame staff even if it is out of the staffs control  . IF YOU CAN DO BETTER DON'T WORK HERE, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU AS A WORKER OR A HUMAN. 1/10 DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

If you’ve done this type of work before then you’ll love the individuals, but if you haven’t then it can be overwhelming since you’re not fully trained on how to de-escalate behaviors. Everyone in management is gossipy, and they’ll lie straight to your face. 
You’ll be overworked and underpaid. 
Also some of the co-workers go out of their way to make your job harder because they’re not a team player. 

Not a truly diverse place to work. The cilture is VERY clique-y and people are always gossiping about people, when they could focus on their job. Pay was low in comparison to other organizations. There was no opportunity for advancement, even with people in the field for a whole like me. It's really questionable who management decides to like. Oh, and know there is NO BREAK given In your day.

REED Next is a great place that provides wonderful services to their clients in the community and beyond. The staff are hard working and the managers are very supportive to their direct reports. Management is open to new ideas. The most rewarding part of working at REED Next is that there is a great sense of community within the organization. The employees work together as a team to provide the best service to all participants.

I absolutely love working for REED Next! From day one, I've felt valued and supported by my colleagues and leadership. The work environment is collaborative and inclusive, and there are ample opportunities for growth and development. I appreciate the company's commitment to work-life balance and its emphasis on making a meaningful impact. Overall, it's been a truly positive experience, and I'm proud to be part of such a fantastic team.

This company has 3 houses and a day program, each has a different culture. Some places are better than others, but it is also what you make it.  Managers are okay, I have had no issues except a few problems with getting in contact. Depending on your program, you could work a 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours shift. I think it is pretty easy, but it has its moments. In my current program, I LOVE it, but I have worked in others and thought it was okay.

The management here does not help at all and basically will tell you to figure it out on your own. All upper people in charge do not care and follow behind each other. Run from this company.

The day program lacks organization. The directors care more about looking good rather then fixing the issues the company faces. The pay & hours were really well. However there was very very very little support from ALL the DIRECTORS.

I enjoy working here. Staff and management are great. The agency has high standards for their clients. As a staff person who does my job, I am supported. The environment and clients  are wonderful.
