Individual programs can be successful, but overall the company would benefit from reprioritizing
Recovery Support Coordinator (Former Employee), Bryn Mawr, PA – October 19, 2012
My specific program has been a positive place to work. My program allowed for change and staff suggestions were often taken into account. Overall, the company does not appear interested in staff contributions or in improving the programs. Decision-makers are not realistic about expectations and how to successfully run specific programs.

The worst company ever!
Resident assistant (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – October 15, 2012
Pros: they'll hire anybody
Cons: where do i begin.......
I was hired as a residential assistant on call, and I was offered the postion for $9.00 an hour. After training for 3 days, we were all told that we were actually getting paid $8.00 hourly. Who does that !?! So I quit after 5 days of training because I could already see that this company is shady. It took 2 1/2 weeks to get paid on top of that. When – more... I called to talk to my trainer, she says I'm not trying to be smart but.....then got smart with me. This company is ghetto, and I don't like the conditions of the house that the consumers have to live in. – less

Really lots of fun? Based on the other comments - either you were compensated to write this review, or you are trying to score some Brownie points with this place.

Fun job that helps disabled artists to reach their goals.
Direct Support Professional (Former Employee), Pawtucket, RI – September 25, 2012
A typical day at work involved getting my team together to plan the day and then go ahead with said plans. I learned a lot more about disabilities, art, music, culture and the daily lives of many underprivileged persons in my community. Management was loose but at the same time productive. My co-workers and I all worked together to create the optimum – more... environment for our clients and planned many events to celebrate their achievements. The hardest part of the job would have to have been the bathroom duties we all shared, helping clients with hygiene and bathroom assistance. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be seeing certain clients I had worked with achieve their goals and feel better about themselves. – less

Awful, horrific place to work. Anyone can look at co-workers personnel files. There are no annual staff reviews. Personnel files are not secured. The central office is corrupt. Senior "leadership" are rarely present The secretary signs the CEO's name on legal documents. Staff turnover is so high that the place is a revolving door. The inmates ( employes – more... who remain run thus asylum – less

Graphic Design Intern (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – July 13, 2012
Pros: working environment, employee- only giveaways, promotions
Cons: career growth
Arriving at RHD as an intern, I realized I was in store for more than I bargained for. I was placed into a community-based work environment and treated wonderfully by my co-workers. I was given a true-to-life experience in my profession as a graphic designer, along with the necessary tools for success. I was given plenty of tasks, and was compensated – more... for my work.

A typical day meant arriving at 9 in the morning, working on designs, logos, business cards, and ads for different programs. I had a half hour lunch break with 2 comfortable cafeterias and an outside cafe.

The most enjoyable part of my job was creating awesome designs that were published and viewed by the public. – less

Resources for Human Development is an ideal job for a college student.
Direct Support Professional (Current Employee), Nashville, TN – July 3, 2012
Pros: worked with a small group of men and their personal growth, the job gave me a chance to get out into the community, we went to the movies and fishing several times, i was invited to philladephia for values day in 2011
Cons: since 2007 we haven't had a pay raise across the board, no union or 401k for employees
Playing basketball or footbal was an ideal activity at (RHD). Relaxing and hanging out at the park with clients. I've learned that no matter your past each day is a new one. Some co-workers are helpful and some are useless people who'll let you do their share. The hardest part about my job was looking past the clients charges. The most enjoyable day – more... was helping an individual learn to dial a phone number. – less

Open Environment with various backgrounds.
Accounts Payable Coordinator (Current Employee), Philadelphia, PA – May 14, 2012
Pros: free pretzels, on equal dollars food market, a gym, and great people.
Cons: short lunch breaks and not really any breaks.
A day at work involves providing customer service to external and internal clients. Processing check requests, benefits, Cash Advances, Pettycash Reconciliation and also resolved billing issues. RHD is a great company. Working with different personalities can be challenging at times, but also you have to have a mind set that you are there to do a job.

Bad Business

A typical day at work meant no plans or structure for the clients. I learned that the safety and thoughts of the staff and at times the clients did not mean anything to the administrators of the program.
