Fraud Rampant - Employment Specialist Bridges International Employee Review

Trae Vacek is an exceptional leader who clearly casts vision and cares for the people who serve with Bridges. In Bridges, you learn a lot of new skills that can be useful in a lot of careers. Definitely recommend college graduates to take at least a year to serve with Bridges and see what God does!

You don't get paid a ton in salary, but you get lots of benefits that come out of the money that you raised. So in a week if I meet with students over meals, the money I pay for food during the meeting doesn't come out of my salary.

Working with clients that need help in becoming more independent.

Corporate leadership is lacking in who they choose to head old & new departments. They lack ethics in how they handle all employees from direct care Staff, to Service Coordinators, and Directors. CEO doesn't care about his employees & only care about the bottom line of operation. Pay is lacking from direct care staff to Upper Management. There is no set P&P and not everyone follows the same policies. No paid mileage for staff, Service Coordinators, Behaviorist, or Music Therapists. Service Coordinators often work overtime and not compensated as well as not paid extra for on call rotation. Training is lacking for everyone in this company - there is a huge process problem. The amount of work that is required of an SC to complete in a 40 hour work week is unrealistic. Each office needs a "receptionist" who can greet patrons and help it's professional staff field calls and do on boarding task.
