What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff and clients are amazing.  The staff is very supportive and flexible.  The environment, while it can be very stressful working a lot of hour extra hours, is one of the  best places I have ever worked.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working in residential, working a lot of hours, being pulled to different houses whenever there is a need.  Some times when you agree to a schedule, it can change with no previous notice.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is what you create it to be.  If you go into a group home with a positive attitude, you can have an amazing experience.  If you have a negative attitude, that is what you will get.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on the group home-----Greeting the residents, prepare meals, give showers, snacks and medications.  We do activities with the residents and then prepare them for bed.  Light cleaning.

A typical day at work can be stressful and yet very fulfilling. I've learned caring and giving to be one of the most powerful tools ever, along with laughter. As part of the management team, this agency has provided me with terrific supports always, as well as for my staff and served individuals. I've experienced a wonderful staff retention rate over the years. The one most challenging part of the job is in maintaining a balance between myself and staff in maintaining an upbeat work environment, at times under very stressful conditions. I set high standards for myself and staff and am gratified when they are met. A "good morning" and "good night" from staff is like music to my ears. In addition, knowing that our served individuals receive the best possible care while at the day program, absolutely makes my day. Hearing their laughter throughout the day is the icing on the cake.

I worked for the Arc for over 5 years and as I advanced, I felt less and less supported. My direct supervisor didn’t even know when I was in the building, I was left to work my program with little to no assistance because upper management was not educated on my program’s daily operations and needs. I did not feel heard and did not feel respected as a person in a management role. The pay is low and bonuses, raises, or appreciation of any kind are not common. The only highlight was working with the served individuals. This was not a friendly, comfortable, or welcoming environment in the main office. 

Working at The Arc of Monmouth has been a wonderful way to give back... We work with a community that requires understanding, patience and support. Here we believe in growing our clients independence and broadening their future dreams, and it is wonderful to be part of that process. The staff become family and the environment is one where everyone enjoys the activities and the daily routine. Seeing the clients reach their goals and excel is a feeling that far surpasses the paycheck. Trainings are excellent and prepare you for your journey with The Arc. It is a wonderful place to work.

The Arc of Monmouth is a terrible place to work. The pay is a joke, the management is grossly unqualified for their jobs, and the agency administration does not care about the employees, the clients served, or the mission of the agency. The work place culture is one of frustration and unease. Layoffs happen left and right, seemingly at random. It's embarrassing to see a once prominent agency fall from grace like this. 

I would strongly recommend working for another non-profit agency if you are inclined to do this type of work. Chances are the pay will be better, and I KNOW the leadership will be better. 

Stay far far away.

I was let go during the pandemic 3 weeks after I had  my son.  and they didn’t even bother to tell me over the phone or anything no managers called me they sent a letter to an old address and after I already sent them my new address.  then i was  sent a cobra letter to my new address that’s the only way I even knew I was let go. Smh. The training sucks ! I was just thrown to the wolves if it wasn’t for having awesome co workers to help teach me I wouldn’t have known a lot .

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was ok until management showed racism and sided with it. I don’t need to be in that toxicity environment. Good Luck. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They gave you their work while they talked at their desks.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not what you perceive it is at first.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work and get all my work done on time.

I would not recommend working here if you’re a nurse. Upper management is terrible and loves to gang up on people and/or get rid of people for insignificant reasons. I did not feel respected as a nurse working there. I did not feel like my experience and skill set was utilized. They are very chaotic and will change your job description constantly and the pay is low for LPN.
