UPARC Reviews

The rate of pay is terrible for most employees. The hours are long. Overtime is almost always forced on the workers in the "group homes". ADT and Office workers have much better hours. Upper management is out of touch with who is a worthwhile employee, they praise those who work long hours and are there just to collect a paycheck and fire those who really care.

The employee contribution for insurance is incredibly expensive compared to other companies, even other non-profits. Despite the huge rising costs of living such as gas, groceries, and housing, yearly raises are hardly given to employees. Direct care staff work long hours, have high expectations set for them, and are paid very little to perform these jobs. There is extreme favoritism shown for certain departments and employees and they seem to fall under the radar with everything, while others are viewed under a microscope. There is not enough appreciation or thanks to the staff that are the back bone of the company (those who help take care of the developmentally disabled). Administrative staff do as they please in many cases with out any repercussions which can make things very frustrating for the employees, and has caused some low employee morale.
