Pros
I started as a DSP at DSI and worked my way up to a Team Manager role. The agency provides clear opportunities for career growth for those willing to put in the effort. The training programs are top-notch, equipping staff with the skills needed to succeed and grow in their positions. Management has been incredibly supportive throughout my journey, offering mentorship and guidance as I transitioned into leadership. The work itself is deeply meaningful—helping individuals with developmental disabilities live fulfilling lives is an experience like no other. The agency values teamwork and collaboration, making it a great environment to learn and thrive.
Cons
Transitioning into management can come with its own challenges, such as balancing administrative responsibilities with team support. However, the leadership team has been there to guide me every step of the way.
