Developmental Support worker (Former Employee) – Greater Sudbury, ON – 12 September 2018
Not the greatest place to work. They have a very high turn over rate for staffing. I would suggest looking else where for employment if you can They force a lot of forced double. 16 hour shifts, i wouldn't plan to do anything after work because there is always a good chance that you will get stuck there.
Support Worker (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 12 September 2018
In my experience the part time employees had to do all the work (including the full timers duties) and when this concern was shared with the manger she did nothing about it, she told us to discuss it with the team.
Full timers would be able to work from home which makes no sense if you’re supporting individuals in their home. And manager approved of this.

Community Services (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 3 August 2018
Very flexible work hours The organization does Not really advocate for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities They play too many mind games around contract work, so you feel like your job is never stable The salary is very low and staff feel unappreciated Some staff have over 7 different roles, leads to burn out Majority of staff are great, interesting people that really care about the lives of the individuals

Part Time Support Worker (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 24 July 2018
CLT is a great opportunity for advancement and experience. You learn many things and get a great work environment when needing improvement with skills.
Direct Support Staff (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 21 July 2018
Helping vulnerable is very revording job but if you want to feel constant intimidation from the management, get a job at CLW. You will be working longer hours (double or even triple shifts), weekends, nights, holidays and you will never feel appreciated for stepping in. Your hours will be all over the place and don’t ever expecting full time either. I didn’t get it in almost 10 years. once, big strong family, the company turned into constant rivalry between workers and management. It literally feels like it’s two completely different competing companies. It’s not unusual to be mistreated by your supervisor. I think they wake up every morning think who can They screw next. You will constantly have management breathing in your neck for anything you do/don’t do. People are getting fired left and right. You are literally not important and they make sure you know it.
Pros
Somewhat ok pay (but not enough for what you have to endure.
Cons
Horrible management, inability to ever get full time
Direct Support Professional (Current Employee) – London, ON – 19 July 2018
The point of Community Living is to enjoy the community. So it is encouraged greatly to head out into the neighbouring community and have fun! Outing could include a hockey game, a drive to the beach, or even a picnic.

Overall a fairly good agency to work for but like any other job nowadays, it can take many years to obtain a full-time position. Many temporary contracts given to reliable employees.

Support Worker II (Current Employee) – Orangeville, ON – 22 April 2018
As a part-time worker the work-life balance is great, I am paid well and I have very supportive management and coworkers. The organization needs to offer benefits to its part-time workers as only full-time workers (Management) receive benefits. At full-time, you can afford things like dental and massages, at part-time you really can't which is highly unfair. I have been needing new glasses, dental work and massages for years now and can't afford it. But all of my bills are paid every month. Sometimes the shifts are extremely boring and others very fun and event filled. The mixture is good. This is a great entry job for those fresh out of post secondary. I recommend this organization highly.
Pros
Decent pay, opportunities to build good relationships with people.
Cons
Sometimes very boring, no benefits to part-time workers
Okay summer program/ poor management - little growth within company
Support Worker (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 14 April 2018
Summer program is excellent for students looking for a summer position. However, I find that support workers were under paid for the work we did and given no chance for growth within the company.
Program Assistant (Current Employee) – Brant, ON – 9 April 2018
