ARC Employer Reviews

Work with clients to empower them to work productively.
Hardest part of the job is doing it all - recording goals, paperwork, computer work, and working with clients on their personal goals.

I enjoyed teaching adults and I developed a feel for mixing the required material with humor to facilitate learning. My co-workers and the staff or the units where we did clinical were great. The hardest part of the job was being part of HR and not nursing, as well as switching back and forth between the two different types of teaching
I enjoyed the – more... stimulation of teaching – less

Management is great! Great place to work. I learned a lot from this place they are really good at giving people a oppurtunity to learn and grow with the company.

Not a fun place to work. Schedule is unreliable> Start route at 730 am and never get off on time at 4pm

it was a fun place to work, i learned to talk to diffent people daily

This was merely a time when I volunteered for a thrift store down the street from where I live. I loved the people that worked there but couldn't do it much more outside of my spare time.

A typical day at BARC Housing is picking up the residents from their day classes. Then when getting back to their house me and other behavior associates assist the residents with their treatment plans. I and the other behavior associates assist the residents with dinner and bathing.

Typical day helped consumer with activity of daily living, cook and give meds

I was a Sales Consultant for ARC and I was lucky enough to work with the DC operations office who provided great leads and support. ARC is going through a transition period where some locations and personnel are being closed/laid off due to the shift in product focus.
A typical day at work included drafting emails, phoning prospective clients, scheduling – more... and attending a minimum of five in person visits or meetings, attending a conference call. Sales support is excellent and when restructuring ends I see a bright future for the company. – less

The staff and management is very poorly. I take care of 3 women, it is a good job. It is a 56 hr straight job. I work Sat-Monday it works will with my schedule.

I worked for ARC for about 5 years and in that time I have learned allot about business process and team work.

I learned how to take care of the consumers and they enjoyed my hospitality.I also learned how to make food the way that I learned how to do and it was a fun and exciting learning experience.I also learned how to do fire drills and it was a good learning experiece for me.I also learned safety rules and the rules for the employees and also the consumer's – more... rights too. – less

I received my first opportunity here as a Team Leader and I took it very serious. I made sure that we produce a quality product at and sometimes beyond production speed.

This company allowe me the opportunity to service many disabled adults in a independent living environment. Which I was drawn to after becoming the caregiver for a family member.

Small close nit company. Challenging, informative field.

The reprographics industry itself is changing at a high rate of speed and the companies who are still afloat are scrambling to diversify their offerings. I was lucky enough to be part of a production team who worked harmoniously, though we all had differing specialties.
ARC would be a decent company to work for if you came in on a regional management – more... level and enjoy being part of a rather unemotional business model, as opposed to a company who values it's workforce and treats them as talented individuals. If you are determined to work for a nation-wide corporation and will stop at nothing to climb the ranks, give it a shot. Otherwise you might feel as though the company sees you as just a walking dollar figure.
Having said that, I credit ARC for providing me with the experiences I needed to excel while further honing my work ethic and attitude. In short, I made the most of my employment there and when I was ready to move on, I felt like I had learned everything I could learn from them. In return, I provided them with over 5 years of excellent service.

My specialty in a nutshell was to handle the billing and keep track of special customer pricing and preferences, schedule incoming print jobs, take customer calls, and any overflow large or small format color digital print production. Aside from that, I also did a fair amount of price quotation and simple graphic layouts upon request from customers. I worked there long enough to develop this niche of diverse duties after cross training in all the other departments of our facility. I told them from the beginning to keep me busy, and they definitely delivered.

What I learned in the years I worked for them was how to manage an ever-increasing workload by systematically organizing myself and developing communication patterns that worked with my coworkers and managers. I learned how to use a host of software related to digital print production and office duties. I also learned how to produce prints from small and large format color devices as well as black and white devices.

My direct manager was an articulate, intelligent individual who was good at seeing the big picture and was a genuinely hard worker. He really connected with our team on a sincere and personal level. The managers directly above him were also professional and compassionate.
For me, the hardest part of the job at first was learning things fast enough to manage the workload. Later on, it was most difficult on a psychological level. Having almost no advancement opportunities meant that the only incentive to continue striving for perfection was a matter of personal pride and the drive to keep our team's excellent reputation intact. Frequent company downsizing/restructuring made positive morale a constant struggle and ceaseless pressure from upper management worsened that aspect.
The thing I enjoyed the most was working with my team. I left the company to live in a different region of the country, but I wish I could have brought them with me somehow. The days where we received praise from customers and recognition for the good job we did every day sustained our work ethic. – less

Preparation and assessment of medications for patients. I assist management with accuracy of records. Maintains strict levels of cleanliness and readiness For patient rooms and meal areas.I work over-night, I check the daily checklist and complete over the time of my shift what is asked of me to get done. To be honest, since I work over-night there – more... really isn't any enjoyable part. The hardest part is the shift that I work. I work this job only on weekends, can't really say much about my co-workers but seem professional. Management as well, but seems to be professional. I've learned to prepare and assess medications for patients, as well as assist management with accuracy of records – less

I enjoyed workig in the busy environment and the people were wonderful.

A typical day at work is filled with laughter and new learning experiences. What I learn is how others matter and everyone deserves equal oopportunities in life and deserves respect no matter what our disabilities may be. The management is nice, and my co-workers are great to work with. We work together as a team in helping the ones we serve. The hardest – more... part of my job will be when I have to leave in order to grow and better myself. For I have grown very close to my students and love them dearly. The most enjoyable part of my job is arriving to work each day and seeing the smiles on each face when they walk into class and see me waiting on them with open arms. Greeting them with a warm welcome which sometimes includes a hug, or hand shake. – less
