Vantaggi
I joined Hope Services because I felt strongly about the organization's mission to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities. Hope provides some really valuable services to this vulnerable population, although the organization's ability to succeed is jeopardized by members of the current management team.
Svantaggi
The current CEO is awful. He turned the company culture--which had been marked by teamwork and camaraderie--into one that's based on fear and distrust. If you are working at a different Hope location or otherwise do not need to interact with the CEO or HR, you may have a more positive experience, but I experienced an environment where you can be (unprofessionally and unfairly) harassed at the CEO's whim. I also watched a number of qualified management personnel leave the organization because of his behavior and the uncomfortable environment in the San Jose location.
