I was laid off a few years ago right before Xmas (nice of them). I had made ResCare champ just a few months prior and they had the audacity to tell me it was because it was performance based. They got mad when I brought up my ambitions of grad or law school, in my exit interview they told me they wanted someone that was going to stay with the company for 7 years (if it lasts that long). Its good to watch the ship sink over the past few years.

Let me just say this Rescare is a great company to work for if you like to treated like a slave and suck ass! No pay increase in years a shitty 60$ bonus this year..they take away 25% of your pto if you want to cash it in..and your not allowed to talk to human resources directly..did I mention u get your ass beat everyday by clients and they have no discipline plan..after they beat your ass you need to kindly ask them to go to their room and offer them candy cookies coffee!! And trying to get a day off is like committing murder...run away as fast as you can!..

ResCare is the most ignorant and fiscally irresponsible company that I have ever had the displeasure of working for. They claim to be "all about people", but it's really just the bottom line that they care about. There are quite a few caregivers and supervisors who seem to truly care about the clients, but upper management does nothing to support the people below them. There is a definite seperation between the Supervisors and the Directors. ResCare goes through frequent "restructuring" (layoffs) due to budget concerns, yet the executives have no problem dining at Outback Steakhouse for lunch, spending money on ridiculously expensive software that doesn't even fit their needs, "marketing"-which is basically taking people out to lunch and schmoozing them but there was never anything gained by this, it just seemed like an excuse to go to a fancy lunch or be out of the office. They do this, then they pass on a wage cut to the caregivers, or fire a few more people. They have eliminated any benefits that would make someone want to stay, there is no tuition reimbursement, they eliminated the company match portion of the 401k, they no longer let you cash out your PTO time, and the medical plans just get more and more expensive every year, despite having a deductible of $1500-$2500 depending on the plan you choose. And that's just the admin plan, the caregivers are offered a plan that I would barely call insurance. Wages are not competitive, every caregiving agency that I am familiar with pays more per hour, and gives raises. Don't ever expect a raise at ResCare, not even if you are amazing at what you do. They DO NOT give raises for merit. No mileage reimbursement or window time for caregivers either, even though they drive all over town from client to client. The hardest part of the job was keeping my mouth shut about all the dumb decisions they made over the 6 years I worked there, and the best part was the day I turned in my resignation letter.

Need to hear how this company treats their clients who stay there. How to you get them out?

rescare is the worse company i have ever worked for. imagine a bunch of imbecile hillbillies from kentucky who decide to open a human services company and that is rescare! totally un-professional and the worse treatment of employees that i have ever seen. total illegal treatment of employees, who are treated like dirt!
