I ve worked for Rem Ramsey for 8 months until I called it quits. When I started at the house there were no supervisor at the house, I was not only doing my my job but was also doing tasks of a supervisor position. The house was disorganized & everything was out of place. Clients at the home could never get along with one another. There s always one client that just seems like they really don t need to be put in a home where others are constantly disruptive and annoying! I sure would be pissed if I couldn t even get a goodnight sleep at my own house. Majority of the time I leave my shift with a migraine, drained & distressed. The rate pay $11.35 which is never worth the amount of work we as DSP s do. We are always short staffed and many of us work 80+ hrs. They call us at our busiest times to ask if we re able to come in and when we don t pick up they harass us with voicemail messages asking to call them back immediately with the worst tone of voice. I have been abused by clients and treated unfairly by managers. Managers don t care how you feel or what you say. All they care about is you coming in for your shift even if that means you get stuck in a ditch on those cold winter days, they need you to come in or even worst when you were in the ER all last night and have called in sick but they won t care. You come to your shift or you are written up. This is extremely unfair, you want us to come in when it s short staffed but when a personal emergency occurs we get in trouble for not coming in? They re policy is if you plan on being gone, notify us in advance. Once that s done we as DSPs must find our own replacement which is hard because no one wants to work. We still get written up either way.. The pay rate is unfair, we are not paid the same rate although they advertise during interview every DSP gets paid $11.35. Some of my coworkers were making $14 & above. When a supervisor came to the house she never does her job. She was constantly gossiping and controlling. There was always drama amongst the coworkers. I truly hated this job but I rarely had time to even look for other places for work. This place took away time from my family, social life and most importantly my mental health. I felt like I was holding heavy pressure on my back every time I came in for my shift. This has been the worst place I worked, I am so glad I quit working at this place. I m at a better place in my life right now. If there s one thing I learned was your safety and mental health matter first before anyone. I thank god for giving me the courage to finally call it quits!
