Pros

Awesome bosses to work for, super organised management, extremely confidential about all matters, spot on accuracy with my pays every time, positive family/team environment. Love working at Embrace! I have been loving my job at Embrace for over a year now and wouldn't want to work anywhere else. They genuinely care about each and every one of their clients and just as aware and caring of each and every one of their staff members. Love the clients I work with - none of them make you feel uncomfortable. If you don't feel like you're making a connection however, management are so understanding and flexible - they will place you with the clients you do connect with, as it's of the clients' and staff's best interests to do this. Clients are each such beautiful souls and fun & endearing people to work with anyway. I love assisting all the clients Embrace management have rostered me with. I have worked at various companies over the years of my experience in the workforce - none of them more genuine, caring, flexible, understanding and real than the management of Embrace. Just amazing, wonderful people to work with! If you get offered a job here - I highly recommend you grab it with both hands and 'embrace' the privilege of being part of something really special!

Cons

None. I love my job so much, I miss it when I'm not working. I completely agree with the other positive review that the person who wrote the negative review had some personal matters they needed to address and taking their insecurities and inexperience out on a genuine, caring business such as Embrace, is just simply uncalled for, very unkind and very rude to those who genuinely cared for that former employee and gave truckloads of support to them as they do to all their staff and clients. It's sad when people get nasty because of their own incompetency and inexperience and instead of accepting accountability for their faults and failures, they blame the ones who were actually there trying to help and guide them and giving them a lifeline. I hope as they gain more life experience, that person will mature and realise their wrongdoings leaving a horribly untrue, negative review, for clearly their own personal gain and objectives. My advice to them - Be kind to yourself and even kinder to others.

Pros

For some reason the review would not allow me to Recommend the CEO, but I do - I thoroughly enjoy working at Embrace. Have been with them for 2 1/2 years. Management really care about their clients and their staff. I highly recommend working here if offered a job. I love working with the clients I support - it is a pleasure, not an effort. Great pay, long term employment opportunities, understanding bosses who work around their staff availability and bend over backwards for their clients - I've seen it often! Always make their staff feel appreciated and valued. Get to work with various clients so you have variety in your work life, whilst building a rapport with each regular client. This company is honestly the best company I've ever worked for. Love their approach and management style. Being a family business, they are personable and understand and genuinely care about your family as well, accommodating your work hours around your family and personal commitments. The former employee who wrote the previous negative review needs to take accountability for their actions. If you sat around doing nothing, you weren't doing your job supporting clients and you were ripping off Embrace! There is always something to do with each and every client we are requested to support. Use your initiative to do what obviously needs doing and don’t expect your boss to spoon feed you. If you don't want casual employment, then why apply at a company that is offering casual employment & casual pay rates? Read your employment agreement more carefully too. Mine was very detailed and they do advise the SCHCADS Award details and even put excerpts in the agreement as well as the link to the SCHCADS Award for you to refer to. Read the client files properly - all Embrace files provide the client's details on their support needs and medical conditions. I've always been provided full information on each client before I go on shift with them. As a current and very content & loyal employee at Embrace I actually think it is very unjust that ex-employees are permitted to leave negative reviews on companies that are running an honest and genuine business, caring for people with disabilities and meeting their needs in every way possible. Just because the former employee did not meet the high standards that a good company holds in order to provide the best quality support to those in need, doesn’t give them the right to defame a good company. In my opinion, the ones leaving the negative reviews about Embrace Disability Support Services, need to take responsibility for their lack of fulfilling their duties, instead of writing negative reviews on Embrace. These people are just plain rude and dishonest in what they say. Perhaps there needs to be the opportunity for employers to leave reviews on past employees so that other companies can see a live work reference before hiring staff? Seems only fair, when it is permitted in reverse and ex-employees can leave reviews on their previous employer, telling untruths about their employment, because they are sour that they did not meet the clients' expectations and blame the company for what they themselves are lacking in their skill set.

Cons

I honestly have nothing that I'm not happy about so I commented on the previous review instead (above).
