Pros: The company culture at Chileda is genuinely caring and mission-driven, which makes working as a Direct Support Professional really fulfilling. I found excellent teamwork among colleagues; everyone in La Crosse is focused on supporting the children. This non-profit organization offers good training and professional development opportunities, allowing us to continuously learn and improve our skills in the social assistance field. It's truly rewarding to be part of a team making such a positive
Cons: While the company culture among peers is strong, sometimes communication from higher up could be more consistent, especially regarding procedural changes or resident updates. For a Direct Support Professional, clear career progression paths aren't always well-defined within this non-profit organization, making it challenging to see long-term growth opportunities or plan future steps in the social assistance sector.
Advice to Management: Focus on enhancing cross-departmental communication and create clearer, more transparent career progression frameworks for Direct Support Professionals. This would help retain talent and provide staff with a better vision for their future at Chileda.
