Great Company, but less than great place to work.

Pros

There were many pros to working for Sample Supports- the clients being the biggest pro. The other pros were good pay, benefits, and opportunity for a change of pace each day. If I could rate the company itself I would give them 5 stars, because what they do is inspiring and amazing.

Cons

I would still be a Sample Supports if it were not for witnessing the disrespect by supervisors in regards to the well-being of their employees. Employees are often scheduled up to 60 hour work weeks without consent. Schedules are posted last minute and are changed multiple times throughout the week without any conversation or consent. There were several times that I worked my personal life around my schedule, only to have my day off be filled in with a shift without consent. Although this may be acceptable to some employees, I feel it shows a lack of regard for the work/life balance and well-being of employees. There were also several instances where supervisors did not follow in action with a conversation that was held in person. There is extremely high-turnover in the direct support department, and regardless of what others say this is not because of the job, but the unethical managing practices. People don't leave their jobs, they leave their bosses. I'm sure other areas of the company hold a much different atmosphere and are probably great areas to work.

Thank you for the kind words about the company. The problems you experienced with scheduling sound frustrating - it is unfortunate you felt less valued due to scheduling issues. If there is anything specific you want to bring up we are happy to hear it. Go ahead and email feedback@samplesupports.com and it will go straight to the CEO so we as an agency can continue to improve our services. Thanks for the review!

Pros

I was back in town and just ate at the restaurant and cannot believe how far you guys have come. I did respite and job coaching for this company when they first opened. Wow. The owner is really nice and always stepped in and helped. It was great to watch the coaches and remember the stuff we were doing at the other businesses in downtown. I'm going to tell my friends who do respite to contact you all -

Cons

None that I can remember.

Pros

Management and supervisors are great trainers and extremely helpful when needed. Team members are knowledgeable and helpful as well. Things like mileage are reimbursed when your car is needed to transport clients. Even the time you spend writing daily reports at home are paid for.

Cons

None that I've encountered yet.
