work elsewhere unless you like being unappreciated - Group Home Manager UPARC Employee Review

If working day-shift direct care, or administrative roles, the hours are great. You get off much earlier in the day than other companies which makes balancing your work/home life easier. There are many wonderful employees, so the work atmosphere for the most part is positive. The time-off you can accrue is pretty generous, so that is also an added plus.

The employee contribution for insurance is incredibly expensive compared to other companies, even other non-profits. Despite the huge rising costs of living such as gas, groceries, and housing, yearly raises are hardly given to employees. Direct care staff work long hours, have high expectations set for them, and are paid very little to perform these jobs. There is extreme favoritism shown for certain departments and employees and they seem to fall under the radar with everything, while others are viewed under a microscope. There is not enough appreciation or thanks to the staff that are the back bone of the company (those who help take care of the developmentally disabled). Administrative staff do as they please in many cases with out any repercussions which can make things very frustrating for the employees, and has caused some low employee morale.

Always overtime available which is good, because the pay is not compatible with what is expected from you

Low pay for amount of work they want you to do must do overtime to make ends meet
