Current Employee – been working at Hope Network full-time for more than 3 years

ProsOpportunity to care and advocate for individuals with mental illness or other disadvantages. Many of the people Hope Network serves do not have an adequate support system and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of their lives.

ConsA very negative culture. Upper Management fails to adequately deal with problems. There is a lack of respect for each other from direct care staff all the way up to upper management. It has become progressively worse over the past few years.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake action to improve employee morale. The turnover is extremely high and this is due to the failure of corporate leaders to address problems. It is easier to sweep it under the rug than face the real issues plaguing the company.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Grand Rapids, MI

Former Employee – worked at Hope Network

ProsThey do offer decent benefits for those working full-time, but that's about it.

ConsIncompetency on behalf of upper management. Employee guidelines are broad and open to interpretation, so they can fire you over petty, unclear things. Some of the office drones display clear lack of ability to reciprocate DIGNITY and RESPECT, two of the things the company supposedly values. Those working the lower rungs of the ladder often get stepped on.

Advice to Senior ManagementIn the midst of expansion, Hope Network is losing sight of its original goal: to bring hope to those in need. The business aspect should always come in second to the fact that Hope Network is supposed to be promoting better living and opportunities for disabled individuals.
