Thanks for sharing your experience, we appreciate your review! At Sevita we strive to provide opportunities for career growth and advancement within our company.

I would never apply to work here again

Program Director (Current Employee) - Nevada - November 30, 2023

Sevita has potential. But the much higher ups are out of touch and everyone below them suffers. Middle management and lower are kind, helpful and passionate of what they do. The pay is horrible but I think the company tried to make up for it with the horrible benefits and pto. Can’t hire staff because the wages are to low. And low paid salary employees are stuck working the shifts.

Not great

DSP (Direct Support Professional) (Former Employee) - St. Cloud, MN - November 28, 2023

Pay was good, but they didn't implement any consequences for staff sleeping on the job and no call no showing. They took advantage of good workers and did nothing about bad ones.

PBSs are wonderful. Management above PS heartless

DSP (Direct Support Professional) (Current Employee) - Wisconsin - November 21, 2023

No raises. No teamwork from PD or AD. Jobs they are supposed to do rolldown hill to other staff. Heartless won't help. Example house has 3 staff only. Haven't seen AD or PD in months! UPside great PS and other coworkers. PBSs are fun to work with. Truly appreciate everything we do for them.Unlike the company as they claim. Their motto is "we appreciate everything you do" Stay with company only because afraid of what would happen to PBSs if left.

No loyalty to employees

Direct Support Professional (Former Employee) - Fort Wayne, IN - November 15, 2023

Its a fairly easy job, but the compensation is garbage. I knew I made a mistake choosing to work here when my supervisor regularly would go out of his way to mention they don't ever pay much. The ones who stick around have other jobs, or don't actually need a job. The other thing that makes this place insufferable is they have 0 respect for your off time. You have to give them every other weekend to work, then when you're off they will ask you to come in anyway more times than not. And frequently schedule mandatory meetings on your off days, making it no longer an off day.

Pros

Laid back job, fairly easy to do

Cons

Poor pay, poor management, poor scheduling requirements, expected to give way more than you'll ever be compensated for

Poor work environment

DSP (Direct Support Professional) (Current Employee) - Bartlett, TN - November 14, 2023

All I can say is run, don’t even consider working here. Poor management, lousy supervisors, rude nurses, take their time paying you for your training hours, they practice favoritism towards certain individuals, and the list goes on. Very unprofessional.

Ok. Fine.

Program Coordinator (Current Employee) - California - November 12, 2023

Its ok. Need more direction. Seems like turnover is very high. I think they need to pay DSPs more and have a clearer understanding of what roles are responsible for.

Toxic Work Environment and Bad Management

Anonymous (Current Employee) - Marshall, MN - November 9, 2023

You are a body and if you attempt to follow policy and be person-centered they find a way to push you out. They do not like anyone who might know more than them. You are immediately surrounded by people who do not get enough validation and feel the need to prove themselves by being toxic to others. If you are looking for a positive work environment this is not the place.

Horrible

DSP (Direct Support Professional) (Former Employee) - Brandon, FL - November 5, 2023

Don’t care too much about staff, and too much drama with coworkers. Everyone talks about each other, and not too much talk about participants. But the daily pay & the participants are a plus.

Pro n con

LVN (Current Employee) - Carson, CA - November 4, 2023

Like any other job it had its moments, however over all I like working the with the individuals we serve. Down side is if management isn't supportive and backs you up it can be overwhelming.
