Doesn't Pay a Living Wage / Burn out
May 9, 2023 - Family Service CoordinatorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great teamwork within the office I work with. The people on the ground doing the actual work CARE about the people they serve. Hybrid and flexible. Room to grow.
Cons
Very low pay, about 40% lower than comparable jobs in the area. No raises. Company burns out good employees. Higher ups make it seem like children in foster care are products and not actually humans. Horrible health insurance. On-call pay is very low and not worth the extreme stress.

Pros
Pay is competitive and good training
Cons
Overwork and no compensation for overtime, no work balance I was working all of the time with no work life balance and was told to put down 8 hours when I worked sometimes 12 hours a day.

A load of crap
Apr 15, 2023 - Direct Support Professional (DSP) in Pocatello, IDRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
They have 1 good direct supervisor that goes out of her way to help anyone she can
Cons
The higher ups don’t care about the clients or staff they just want their money. Supervisors get away with threatening clients to take them outside and fight them and telling the clients they won’t win and if they want to keep it going they will call their probation officer to get them arrested and calling them names, they also fire the ones that are actually there for the clients best interest. They allow the staff to stay that refuse to give the clients their meds or tell the client they don’t care what they want and the staff call clients names but if you report it to the higher ups then you get fired because they don’t want state involved and if you mention anything about state then you are a threat to the company. You can ask HR for numbers for higher chain of command and all they will tell you is they don’t have those numbers to give you.

Pros
I feel like Sevita is a great job option for me because I’m very good with communicati with elderly people, I love taking care of them, and it’s always good to learn from them because they were once our age before, so it’s always good to learn..
Cons
I am aware that sometime patients can get violent but I’m prepared for that I’m tough so I know how to keep calm in calm the patient down to where we’re both safe and no one is harmed

Avoid Mentor Idaho and Sevita Health!
May 14, 2023 - Direct Support Professional (DSP)RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The participants, they make you want to go to work to help them with their day to day tasks. You’re loyal to the homes your work in.
Cons
So many cons, administration has no idea what they are doing. Program supervisors are uneducated and have to constantly contact their superiors. Communication between the DSP’s and administrators are muddled and not helpful. Staff show up late or not at all. Injuries are prevalent due to the lack of training of staff and their knowledge of techniques.

They make promises to employees and never follow through
Jan 3, 2023 - Program Director in Phoenix, AZRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
flexible schedule, Independently work, Good training.
Cons
They expect a lot for very little. They add to your workload and do not give any incentives. If you have 4 homes and someone quits you have to take there homes and there is no incentives you now have 6 to 8 homes with no extra pay or bonuses. The upper management gets large bonuses but cheat the ones doing all the work. They refuse to pay a fair wage. Even through inflation is at a all time high. This company does not seem to care about their employees.

We appreciate your feedback. Providing fair and competitive wages for direct support staff is an issue across human services, and it's something we continue to advocate for with our legislators and the public through provider associations like ANCOR.

Great team, not as great institutional support.
Mar 9, 2023 - Therapeutic MentorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The direct supervisors and team members in the office were skilled, experienced, and incredibly invested in putting out a good service for their clients.
Cons
Every element of the corporate infrastructure feels designed to bog down your work, or devalue the work that you're doing. Long-touted raises ending up being <3% (5% for top performers) when inflation was 5%, pay structure changes that decreased pay by ~15% across the board, base pay being lower than most Supervisors are constantly having to advocate for better tools, more opportunities, better pay, etc. from the upper administration, but no meaningful response. Unless you are starved for experience/need the position to advance your career in other ways/desperately need to get closer to licensure, stay away.
