Rewarding Direct Care Role - Anonymous employee ACHIEVA Employee Review

I know we are understaffed but even upper mgt. is willing to assist. Things are not perfect and there are things that go wrong everyday. I like that they look at the issues and try to change.

Pay is lower than other companies. They are very understaffed in several programs.

It was a paycheck, that's it.

Upper management is very political, and not in a good way. CEO repeating talking points in an all-company meeting, from a government that uses disability slurs and cuts funding, is a terrible thing. That hurts morale in a big way. Bullying by management is common and people kiss up or leave for much better situations to avoid being targetted. Constant focus on raising money is depressing - we give enough already, stop asking. Mailing a very expensive full-size magazine that looked like a high school yearbook club made it , to thousands of people (including ex-employees) tells you everything you need to know - they are all about the show and waste tons of money on it. Spend that money on people with disabilities instead, and raise direct care wages. Isn't that the reason you are asking in the first place?
