Wiregrass-Resource-Group,-Inc

While wiregrass's mission is great and does help many people, their execution and management of their employees is anything but. 

Typical "Family" non-profit who are run by managers who just are out of touch with the modern 21st century. They are the type of employers that complain about no-one wanting to work and then laying off half of their employees within the same breath. Top management can be very unprofessional and prone to varying degrees of wild temperaments. Management will be your best friends and then degrade you for not being "Professional" enough. This is coming from the same people who don't know how to use modern office equipment and yell at their receptionist 24/7. 

Their employee turnover is high and that in and of itself tells you just exactly what type of company you are working with.  An average work day will look like you working for 9+ hours just to get stuff done.  You are expected to be a case manager, educator, sales man, therapist, and writer for an OK wage. I was told my case load would never be more than 25 people and within three months I had at least 45+ people. 

The best part of this job was the clients, hands down. They really made the job palatable. It is a shame that management is unable to do truly serve them as their case managers change so often. 

If you're thinking of working here, just go into it knowing that you will likely be handed another person's caseload if they quit or are fired (Because the manager's don't care about that as long as they can sign up new people!). So expect 10 hour days, a low work life balance, and to constantly feel like you will never be able to do anything good enough. 



A typical day at work for me is coming in each morning, greeting my coworkers, fixing myself a cup of coffee, and opening up my computer to start the day. A few of my duties are: I look at and answer emails that have and will come in throughout the day. I also look over and add to my calendar to know what needs to be done throughout the day/week. I take care of the billing processes on the accounts payable and accounts receivable side of the business. I answer and handle phone calls that come in. I learn something new almost everyday due to the line of work I am in. I worked with a great group of people. My bosses, along with all of us as employees, love the line of work we are in. We work with clients, who are disable individuals that we find long-term successful employment for.  My bosses also take great care of us as their employees by providing us with competitive pay, benefits, such as 401K, Health, Paid Holidays, Vacations, Sick, Bereavement, etc., Bonus Incentives, random days off, etc. We work hard but we also love to laugh and "cut up". As a team, we help each other, lean on one another, and grow together. Their is definitely not a dull moment is this line of work. I guess the hardest part of my job is that I am my own worst critic. I am a perfectionist and I think everything I do has to be completed everyday. The most enjoyable part of my job is hearing our Employment Specialists have found jobs for our clients. It is very rewarding to all of us to see our clients happy and succeeding in their jobs.

I have worked for WRG for almost a year now. I have been welcomed with open arms into an organization that is growing in leaps and bounds since I've been here. I work closely with management to ease the growing pains of this progressive organization and am excited to see where WRG will be in the future. As I am on the "Corporate Office" side of things, I see how much blood, sweat, and tears goes into making sure this business is successful in every aspect. Our Employment Specialists are the life of our job. We do our best to support them fully and make them feel appreciated for all of their hard work. It takes special employees to be in this role. God definitely knew what he was doing when he Divinely aligned this position! 

I have been employed at this establishment for the past two years and it has been a most rewarding experience. The management team has consistently provided exceptional support, while the proprietors have displayed remarkable dedication in accommodating the needs of the staff. Throughout my tenure, I have honed a skill set that I am confident will equip me for success in any endeavor. Although the work may present challenges in serving this particular community, the significance of aiding disabled individuals and veterans is profoundly meaningful. I remain thankful for this opportunity and would urge any prospective employer with a commitment to serving others to seek employment here.

Wiregrass Resource Group is an amazing supported employment provider for people with disabilities in GA.  I've been with the company for about 6 months and it has been an amazing experience.  With all companies, there are policies and procedures to follow, so you just have to get adjusted. The team is very supportive, if I have a question or concern there is always someone that can help me. They are always offering help and the "Good job" and other incentives from management really motivate me to do a good job with the people we serve. It can be challenging some days, but with this team, you can be successful. I feel appreciated at this company and hope to be here a long time. 

Wiregrass Resource Group has been a game changer for me as far as a job goes. I came from a very very stressful job and from a different field than what Wiregrass Resource is in. I have learned a lot of different other ways to do things and it has opened my eyes in a different job field.  You come in and do your job, and have a few laughs and smiles and maybe some tears, but at the end of the day its worth it. From management to employment specialist, to human resource, and to billing they are definitely compassionate and also a team to make sure everything is ran smoothly. They say co workers become family and they have become that. 

Throughout my time at Wiregrass, I’ve had a really great experience. On a typical day, I meet with multiple clients and assist in securing their successful employment. It’s a very rewarding job. Management has been super kind and understanding. They really see me as an individual person and not just another number or employee, which makes a world of a difference. Actual, positive teamwork is a big deal here too, which is refreshing. Hardest part of the job is just learning to put in the work. Some days may be a little longer or more demanding, but then other days are more relaxed and easy. They have a great holiday schedule too. 

Been here 7 years… love my WRG work family! Highly recommend this organization. They truly care about their employees and their clients. They push us to always be over achievers and excel in everything we do. Education is very important to them- continuing education. I plan to retire here! 

Wiregrass Resource Group provides me with continued job readiness training coordinating job skill strengths and weaknesses based upon my disability.  I am developing better job skills for my next employer.
