Current Employee – been working at Human Arc full-time for more than a year

Pros – Advancement if you're willing to work hard, Training, Atmosphere (culture), Flexible with time off.

Cons – Pay is too low. This seems to anger most employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Give employees a pay boost. They justify low pay by promising advancement. However, what they don't realize is that they are already underpaying their employees and not everyone advances. They have done a great job with every thing else, just try to give the employees a bit more in regards to pay. Work environment IS NOT everything.

Current Employee – been working at Human Arc full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Company has a great mission and the work that we do makes a real difference with the patients and members that we work with

Cons – Need to create greater consistency around administration of policies across the organization

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to communicate to the organization on an ongoing basis
Provide career development opportunities even if it's not with a title change

Current Employee – been working at Human Arc full-time for more than a year

Pros – Flexible schedules, casual dress code

Cons – I currently work for this company but can not wait till I get a new job! Raises are about 2 percent if you are lucky annually, pay is very low, management does not listen and are very immature or hire other family members or significant others for management jobs...awkward! The work that is done is not as good as it can be- very unorganzied, horrible training, and company says they make a difference but only cares about getting paid on accounts and not the Quality of the work being done. Also many broken promises-Little room for advancement- Do not recommend this company!

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees-We are the ones doing the work and you don't value our opinions. Quit hiring family memebrs or significant others in the same department.

Current Employee – been working at Human Arc full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great team to work with. People are invested in their work. Personal development opportunities are available to those that seek them out. Improved communication has made a huge difference. I like the building and the location as well. Hard work and dedication pays off, but (just like any other place) you really do need to put yourself out there and give it your best.

Cons – The health insurance could be better.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing; the internal communications improvements are great.

Current Employee – been working at Human Arc full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Human Arc is a growing company and it is filled with opportunties! The amount of time and money invested in my development has been great. I started off in an entry level position and I am now a manager in the organization. The people here are fantastic and the company focuses on impacting lives and making a difference

Cons – I can't think of anything- I really have been pretty happy here!

Advice to Senior Management – None at this time

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Human Arc full-time for more than a year

Pros – The *people*: employees are usually great, hard-working individuals with a strong want to do good in their community. They really want to "make a difference".

Leadership: Executives seem really nice and want the best for their employees.

Community focus, mission.

Vacation: After first year, vacation time is generous!

They put a lot of work into the office and it's a nice building, open, light, and inviting.

Cons – Low-level leadership (direct managers): Favoritism, dishonesty, and unsupportive. No team spirit because favorites don't pull their weight. Those promoted aren't always the most qualified, experienced, or deserving one.

Executives try hard to make/keep it a Great Place to Work, but without the support of managers, it won't change.

Employees struggle to deliver quality because of workload. No sense of accomplishment or success.

Advice to Senior Management – You have really tried hard to invest in your employees and its appreciated, but your managers end up un-doing the changes you tried to make. If you want to make real change, start with them.

Former Employee – worked at Human Arc full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Ideal for college kids seeking their first time experience. Great first job to have.

Cons – The company has a biased "consultant" in the role of HR Director. The advice provided to executives is usually subjective, executives do not take the time to investigate discrepancies and complaints from direct reports. Usually take feedback from managers at face value. Several complaints of fear of employees went unanswered.

Advice to Senior Management – Live up to your "values" with no "Catch 22"upper management should consider saving company money and hire a true HR professional. The advise given by this individual is biased and there is clearly a conflict of interest since this individual has her own "consulting" company. Upper management should consider investigating complaints from employees and not let managers "soften" the information as "disgruntled employees". Furthermore, the company should consider reviewing the salaries of hourly employees who average at $11 to 12 an hour for work that is comparable to social work and pressured sales people. Thankfully my salary is 2 times the previous amount at Human Arc, and as a salaried employee I can't imagine someone getting payed so miserably. The GOOD NEWS Human Arc, things can be turned around and Human Arc could be an attractive company for anyone seeking to work. Or if the owner decides to sell the company it would be much more attractive for buyers.
