SIGNAL CENTERS

A typical day at work started out with the clients coming as the buses brought them. They would get breakfast when they came if they wanted it, if not they would just talk with each other and to us. This was a day center for the physically and mentally impaired. After breakfast was over we would take them to the other room for morning exercise to music. When this was done they would come back to the tabled room and do an art activity. This is how they make money to go to different places like the ball game or the movies, for example. after the activity was lunch time. I helped distribute, serve, and do the clean up. After lunch time was free time for them. They could work on what ever they wanted to do like coloring or word search, for example. During this time I helped with updating and completing files, satisfaction and needs surveys, answering phones, filing, delivering interoffice mail and other light clerical duties. At around 2:00PM they would get a snack if they wanted one. At the end of the day the buses would come, pick up the clients and take the home. I learned a lot from these clients. They are happy lovable people. They all have such big hearts, bigger hearts then people that have nothing wrong with them. They make you want to go to work everyday and if you don't work there anymore, you want to volunteer to work there like I do now.  there is nothing hard about the job but maybe trying to make out what a few of them are trying to tell you. But if you listen hard enough you get it. The most enjoyable part of this job was the way these people make you feel each and everyday. They are so excited to see you when you come in and all of them have to tell you hi and that they love you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The different programs available for adult and kids with disabilities! Don’t fall for the hype though it’s still a toxic & unorganized work environment! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Leadership & Management is at a low level of professionalism! No professional development in your career! In your position you will constantly have to prove to your manager that you know how to do your job! Very click like managers! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It can be very toxic and unhealthy to do your job! Bullying culture from management! High School vibes from mangers! No consequences for bad behavior from management! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying to avoid your manager you never know what She comes with on a daily basis! Getting the things you need to get your job done seems like the biggest challenge! If you are a come to work and put your head down type of person avoid working here at all cost! Always act busy or you will be given additional work from management. This may include running personal errands for your supervisor!

This place is a true nightmare. Management is a joke. Unless another teacher helps you, you receive no training, no matter how much you ask. There are maybe 2 people there who have been there over 3 years. Turnover is ridiculous. Assistant teachers are treated as if they are too stupid to do anything and even told not to speak to parents. Lead teachers are supposed to know how to do everything, and are treated terribly if they dont. Pray you dont have health problems, accommodations are rarely made and you are made to feel bad if you have to miss due to illness. There is NO positive feedback, only constant criticism and refusal to give help when asked. They expect you to grow, but dont want to put in any work. If you take a job here, you will be quitting within a year. MOST PEOPLE DO!

This position was remote and travel to educational sites. Continual training was held monthly, enhancing your career. The company cared about your well-being. 
Management was good and fair and looked out for their employees. 
Travel was a lot, but you were compensated for mileage, 
Making a difference was the best part, as well as the "family" culture where everyone cared to stay connected and help one another, although all were working autonomously. 
Trainings each month brought us together and a weekly Microsoft Teams meeting kept us connected and sharing files. 

I have worked at this organization for 10 years, 7 in the current position, and have felt a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment from every day of it! This is probably true for most all employees at the agency. Goes to show that although the monetary compensation is not grand, there is something keeping those people working there! Only ready to move on to greater things! People of all ages, with all types of disabilities in this community have benefited from the services of this agency.

During the interview, the company does not disclose the extensive local and statewide travel required, which can result in significant mileage accumulation. This can necessitate the purchase of a new car after a few years due to wear and tear, which is not fully covered by mileage reimbursement. Additionally, there are communication issues within management, as they often fail to effectively communicate with staff. Job duties are numerous and often not clearly outlined during the interview process, leading to an accumulation of responsibilities over time. There is also a lack of clear expectations regarding job performance.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Swag was always great to have , but the overload of materials was extremely overwhelming for trying to find space in your home office.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Management and the lack of accountability was the most stressful part of working with this organization.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment within in this organization was very toxic. Leadership lead based off their personal feelings towards an individual. HR was useless and always sided with the employer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Kind, pleasent co-workers, friendly environment and inspirational learning environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some of the children have very hard behaviors and violent behaviors

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's hard work, little reward and no perks. Violent children have no correctional actions

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come to work, interact with children, following lesson plans, have lunch, 3 hour naps and then go home.

Huge Turnover. Not enough staff to cover classrooms safely. No collaboration among staff.  Job duties for support staff are unclear. Questions aren't answered. Feedback is not given when sought. Without Consistancy in staff and support there's very little time to actually "teach". Behavior management in the classroom IS the job which fuels impatient parents too, but the managing team over the teaching staff aren't proactive in helping or solving problems. They are ultra-reactive when parents create drama though. Morale is low.  The furnishings and supplies are old and underfunded. Pay is absurd. 

Working at Signal Centers has been an excellent experience! Though the agency is large with several different departments and programs, leadership has done a remarkable job creating a sense of community between employees- even individuals dispersed throughout the state. Even when faced with COVID-19 challenges, leadership rose to the occasion, encouraging staff to do the same. Even meeting unspoken needs for mental health days and WFH flexibility. Thanksful to be associated with this fantastic organization!
