Very little guidance from mid-level management with an overall sink or swim attitude. - Avis employé Vocational Rehabilitation Partnership Development Group

community, learning, support, constant collaboration, opportunities for growth, fulfilling, really engaged in creating positive behavior change for clients, and they actively support all staff They do not shy away from learning how to make the company better for both staff and clients

Cannot think of any cons. It is hard work though and it does require you to be truly dedicated to the mission - which is not necessarily a bad thing

This is a great intro, 'throw you in' kind of job and I learned so much here. I am grateful for all I learned at this job. The consumers are awesome; I loved my consumers! I learned tons about state services and programs and local resources, etc. The culture can be good, they try.

Management seems like they want to hear what staff have to say (when there were issues, concerns, requests) but then seem to just find the few staff that would agree with what they wanted to hear (for whatever reasons) and then just do what they previously were leaning toward. I feel like there has been a loss of focus on consumer well-being to instead just chasing the money. While they do need to keep finances in mind. as it is a business, I feel like it has lost sight of the goal (partnering with & helping the consumers). Then there are the general cons that other reviewers mention: high caseloads/workloads and low pay. It's a place that encourages self care but then doesn't provide the pay or time to follow through. The workload and stress often just isn't worth the money. If you care about the consumers then you will feel constantly torn between doing good work and providing quick, minimal service to appease the insurance, financial, and upper management gods! It burnt me out and I'm still recovering. If you decide to work there set your work/life boundaries on day 1 and don't flex on those for anything! Also, set a max time limit for yourself on how long you will work there. I promised myself that I would just stay there until I could hit the one year mark (and boy did that feel like a stretch at the beginning) but it just sucked me in. Use the job as the learning opportunity it is. Enjoy working with some awesome consumers and then take all you learned from the experience/job and move on.
