Pros

Well if you can than you're in luck! The Mentor Network is hiring! The first thing you need to know is that this is a 'for profit' company. That means that giving the very least we can to our 'consumers' (weird) is the most important thing. Yes, that's right the very least we can get away with and still be licensed by DDD. Are you OK with using a washcloth to wipe a person's butt, wash that washcloth in cold water and then use it to wash a different person's face? Than this job is for you! Do you have a problem with feeding grown women cans of ravioli for breakfast lunch and dinner? No?! Well then by all means apply. That's breakfast lunch and dinner! 7 days a week! Still OK? Apply today! This is honestly the worst job I have ever had. Did I mention that you are legally liable for the health and well being of the people you are in charge of? With possible fines and time in prison. And you never get a raise!!! And you never get a raise!! Ever. Not one.

Cons

Yesterday I was bitten and got poop all over my shoes! The women I work with I know I shouldn't post this but I just can't help myself. Found this gem in the Staff to Staff log at work...I really need to find a new job.have not had a fresh vegetable or fruit in the 6 months I have been in this home. Not so much as a banana.

Pros

Good relations with PBS sometimes Good pay

Cons

Management is horrible. You may get a good house manger, but their supervisor are terrible. They all get together in some type of clique and even have favorite employees where they put them in a new position simply because of their connections. The Program Directors and Area Directors lie on employees just to cover up their involvement and save themselves from being written up. There is no fairness when working at this company. You can get in trouble for something and a Program Director, Area Director, or even house manager can do the same thing and have their coworkers cover for them. They talk about chain of command a lot but when you actually follow it, it only comes back to bite you. If they want you gone your gone. I've seen it happen to two house mangers where one was lied on and almost faced criminal charges (now dismissed) and the other forced to leave or face a charge that was not their fault for problem that happened before they got there. It's all basically like a bad toxic parent and family. You can speak out to what's going on, but they refuse to listen or get mad because you're pointing it out. They speak In a raised voice, you match it ad get called disrespectful. You point out that they are doing the same thing and it's apparently how they talk. You talk about something private that's going on in your life between a manger or program Director and the next thing you know all your coworkers know.
