Love the members!!

Someone (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – April 22, 2018

As most before me I stay for the members. I think there's alot of shady things happening. Packing the DTA is in the members are not happy with that North neither is the staff. It seems as though the company has been more geared toward making money rather than the member and family oriented as they set out to be. Lots and lots of favoritism. They also need to hire people that are not so inept and a lot of immaturity at this company Let's get back to who we used to be at one step.

Pros

The members all the way!!

Cons

Staff is very immature, management can be the same way

Would never work for this company again

Direct Support Professional (DSP) (Former Employee) – Glendale, AZ – January 29, 2018

Work place is very hostile, they need new supervisors and staff period, higher up such as people overseeing the supervisors don’t care about the members and work place until something blows up at the job. Job is more like an high school

Pros

Working with members very rewarding

Cons

Short breaks/staff are disgusting, not about the members, environment overall is very draining and difficult to work under

Fun place to work

Supervisor (Former Employee) – Glendale, AZ – January 8, 2018

Members are the only reason to stay

DSP (Direct Support Professional) (Former Employee) – Surprise, AZ – October 12, 2017

It's a family company, so if you're not family or family friend you don't get advanced. Some management is alright but a majority just ignore staff when changes are needed or complaints are made. There is the steady promise of addressing staff and member needs, but it is just promises. They try to make you feel bad, by bringing up whether or not you care for the members, when you ask for changes (to benefit both members and staff). On the bright side, most of the staff and some management are kind and devoted. But it is the kind and devoted staff that are being run off. If you stay long enough you will find they have a huge turn around of staff most the time, and that almost everyone talks about leaving or finding work elsewhere.

Pros

Members

Do this job because you Love it

Direct Support Professional (Current Employee) – Peoria, AZ – July 30, 2017

I absolutely LOVE my job. The members are the kindest people ever. Opportunity to move up is there. This company prefers to hire within if possible. So once your in and your good and what you do their is advancement potential. I received two promotions in 2 years. Pay could be better however.

Pros

Overtime with Friday Fun Nights

Cons

Doesn't Pay Enough.

Direct Care/ HCBS Provider (Current Employee) – Peoria, AZ – December 30, 2016

Great place to work if you love diversity and bringing smiles to people's faces. I love interacting with my clients and we get to do fun things like taking local trips out into the community to help teach living skills to clients.

A day in the life with Special Needs

Health and Wellness Coordinator (Current Employee) – Glendale, AZ – December 3, 2016

What gives me joy in my work is that is appreciated unconditionally by the members that I serve. With society looking down on those that were born less fortunate for whatever reason, it's that foundation that I base my relationship with these members.

Helping those that truly need and appreciate it make life worthwhile.

A rewarding environment based on helping Program Members

Executive Director (Former Employee) – Glendale, AZ – June 7, 2016

As a past Board Member coming into the operations environment I quickly experienced the lack of transparency of information from Management to the Board of Directors.

Over the last 5 year period, the Organization has seen 6 Executive Directors come and go, and my 15 month length of service was the longest.

The Company being made up of mostly young people, were very receptive of learning new methods, educational opportunities and rewards. These were seldom offered over the last 11 years.

The Student Members were a joy to be with every day.

Fun and enjoyable place to work.

Student Van Driver (Current Employee) – Peoria, AZ – March 11, 2015

One Step beyond is wonderful. The students and staff are great to work with. It is a wonderful place to work. The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the faces of the students. How they smile everyday when they greet you. I have learned how much people with cognitive disabilities can mean so much to you. How much they can brighten up your day.

Pros

Working with wonderful people.

I am able to spend the night with her as necessary also.
