DDRC

Good points - 
Clients. Coworkers who really care.

Bad points - 
Management don’t care about staff.
Multiple schedule/location/client changes daily, starting one hour before work at 7.30am.
Management NEVER acknowledge or answer emails.
Management never open to suggestions that would benefit our clients.

Unnecessary travelling across large areas of the city every day. Lots of driving with multiple clients. Switching clients and locations at lunchtimes for absolutely no reason, often creating a logistical nightmare.

Mismatching paired clients eg high energy clients scheduled with very low energy clients with very different interests and abilities. Pairing clients that are known not to get along very well with each other.

High staff turnover. Staff are fired with no prior warnings or explanation. Was glad to be laid off during COVID and have a much better job now.



Client and front line staff were amazing.

Management needs work
Tbey lay ppl off for no reason or get them fired.  I have seen people get fired just because they gave out too many suggestions. There is also someone in management that if you say anything wrong then you are in their books and they make your life difficult.  The management makes the workplace very toxic which was surpaokg considering we worked with people of disabilities and the company was all for naming sure that's the clients workplace was safe however our own was not .
The crazy schedule cha ges throughout the day that for most part made no sense. All the morning changes as you are driving to work theb you get to work justbto find you were supposed to be somewhere else but couldn't check your email of tons of changes because you were driving. 

I will say my direct supervisor was a good person, too good for that place and thankfully she left or was asked to leave, they don't really like people who are positive and create a healthy work environment.  Bonuses were good helped buy a few ticket items for my home that I wouldn't have been able to purchase without a good savings plan.  The culture was toxic, from the top position to HR and most of the managers were quite something, everything that books are written about that is wrong with a work place.  Keep your nose down, do your job, agree to all the nonsense and you can likely stick around for awhile, or follow in the footprints of the toxic people then you'll make it for sure.

I was hired quickly through this company. Clients were great, company is lacking in management skills, my emails were often ignored and so were my phone calls, even when regarding to a client. They don’t pay for any work that you complete at home but you are expected to complete clients goals and IR’S at home, goals were very time consuming. Their training is very basic and you’ll often attend short training and only be paid .5 or one hour.

Clients and most support workers are very positive and caring for clients. Management has a lot of nepotism and hypocrisy. If you make a mistake, management will remind you of it continuously even if you no longer show that behavior. Performance reviews are done by your team lead who you rarely see.

Weak leadership skills drives poor outcomes for clients who are often found at community centres for a full-day under the presence of lesiure activity while they sit at benches. 

Top leaders play business while front line employees struggle to meet vauge outcomes and lack support to do work beyond glorified supervision.

Clients are great, a lot of paperwork though. Many hours outside work time is spent on additional work without pay.
Start at 830 but expected to check work emails at 730 for schedule changes which could happen up to 10 times a day.

This job is very rewarding. Learning and training opportunities are good.  However it is extremely fast pace, and you are expected to work everyone on the team.  This means supporting many individuals on a regular basis.  If you are quick on your feet, and up for a challenge this is the job for you.  

Worse place I could imagine working. When I left I felt a lift with relief. Management is one of the worst I have seen and you are made to work out of fear of losing your job and empty promise of a bonus which never comes. 

I can work independently without any supervisor around. The trust was there and I'm happy about that. I was lucky to have a client that is funny and happy to be with.
