Pros

Short Work Week, could be a great job for students as long as you dont get stuck at work.

Cons

As compared to other human services organizations, InVision accepts individuals who are the worst of the worst. Most of the individuals are extremely violent and will attack and injure staff. Individiuals will exibit extreme psychological behaviors while you are stuck working for 56 hours or more alone with them with no support at all. The supervisors will expect you to stay and finish your block shift with them even after an individual has attacked you. You have to use your own funds and personal vehical to take the individual on outings and wait forever to get reimbursed. You do not get paid at all for staying overnight at the individuals home when they are sleeping. Houses are very filthy and staff that work other blocks do not bother to keep it clean and tidy. Supervisors are overworked and do not care to respond to concerns that you may have. Due to the extreme behaviors of the individuals Invision has a high turn over rate and is often short staffed so you will often get pulled to work with a potentially violent aggressive individual who you have never shadowed and been trained to work with before. You could get stuck at work if no one shows up to relieve you and you can not leave because you will get reported to HCCIS for neglect. The supervisors will not relieve you even if you have other obligations that you have to tend to after you are scheduled to get off from work.

Pros

Block shifts consist of 56-64 continuous hours with 2 unpaid 8 hours sleep periods. You get 4 days of if you don't get stuck. Lots of opportunities for overtime.

Cons

Working for this non-profit was quite a challenge. There is a huge gap in communication between lead management, supervisors and employees, as well as the program directors. I believe this is attributed to poor management habits and the culture they aroused with their lack of empathy for their direct care workers and low group home engagement. Supervisors are very over worked, hostile in communication with staff who express ideas and concerns and overlook the unprofessional work place behavior of their very unprofessional team leaders. Orientation and training programs for new hires are not comprehensive, while job descriptions are inaccurate and misleading. My observations during my short employment at InVision Human Services left me with a fine example of what to steer clear of when looking for an employer or workplace. This organization cares more about getting their houses staffed and praises those employees who are willing do unlimited overtime by just sitting at a house and doing the very bare minimum when it comes to helping their clients rather than giving credit to those DSP workers who have the passion and commitment to helping their clients with their goals, fulfilling the organizations mission, and who actually work hard at making sure their group homes are up to state licensing standards.
