People Inc

Wonderful place to work! Treats employees and the people they serve with a lot of respect and compassion

People Inc is a terrible place to work. I was also acting manager for multiple sites & carried an extreme amount of work for more than 5 months. Instead I was reprimanded by a cold hearted RD complimented with a corrupt HR dept. When I expressed how I felt, I was told I was being put on admin leave for finding staff to cover shifts. Then was told by the Director of HR That I was terminated unbeknownst to me, upon which ended my employment with this agency after serving as a day med, team leader, then SRSover a 5 year timeframe. HR treats employees like children and management will back stab without blinking an eye. You will never get the proper assistance you need to complete your job. Upper management (head quarters) could care less about site managers and/or DSP workers.You are working 7 days a week 'on call' or not. EXTREMELY short staffed!! Managers pull doubles more often than not. Rude upper management. Horrible! Job culture isn t professional. I d strongly recommend someone starting a union. The employees aren t protected at all. Most time, the managers put employees in compromising situations & when an investigation is launched there is no protection for the employee. The DSPs are used as scape goats. DSPs do the most hands on work in the agency. Being in harms way constantly, toileting, cleaning, cooking, administering meds - you d think that the company would show some type of gratitude. Negative.

Overworked and underpaid. Always short on staff, but then restrict overtime to staff who are willing to work. Will float you from your assigned site to any site in the agency. Upper management is more focused on saving money than helping staff. They make you fill out a checklist for every single thing. Be ready to check and sign off the same task on about 8 different lists every day. Residents will report false allegations and you will be on leave for atleast 2 months if not longer. Paycheck not worth the stress. Unsupportive management. No support from people in main office. Staff shortage which makes managers work more than 40 hours. Paid salary which does not meet hours worked. Talk to head of residential and was basically told to look for help or work it yourself. State oversight makes it difficult to focus on your individuals. Upper management is totally out of touch with what base-workers and mid-management need to function. Upper seems to have little interest in genuinely helping lower level workers. Hardest part of the job is seeing some of the people you work for not getting the right help they need.
Best part are your individuals...most of them are some of the most loving and wonderful people you will ever meet. Pay is honestly pitiful for the type of work(literally taking care of people and watching out for their safety,) but decent pay for sure. If you can handle high-stress jobs and accept you likely can't change the status quo, you'll be okay and the pay will feel "worth it."
The level of documentation that the state requires is well-meaning but also makes it difficult to properly explain what you do with individuals. That's out of the company's hands, though.

Pros
Pto, amazing exposure to different types of people.
Cons
Expensive and limited health plans, corrupt upper management, terrible pay, occasionally dealing with lazy co-workers, no support for being a member of management

Stay away. Bad people who will let dangerous people hurt your loved ones and do nothing about it.
