I worked for this non profit. As a disabled, lgbtq person, I was bullied and discriminated against. When it was brought to the attention of the director of operations, he enabled more bullying and joined in. I addressed it all head on with HR, who proceeded to fire me when I directly named the manager. I also witnessed abuse of mentally disabled workers. If you're looking to donate, please don't give to this establishment. They need to be investigated and the disabled workers need help. They abuse and bully people with smiles on their faces. It's absolutely heartbreaking and they should not be on this list.
Northwest Center models inclusion in our programs, our organization, and our businesses. We strive to realize the dream of civil rights and meaningful community engagement for people with disabilities.
This company does very good work for people with disabilities in their not for profit works. However, this company also runs for profit businesses, employing many people with disabilities. I have direct knowledge that their managers treat employees with disabilities like they are lucky to have a job and are quite expendable. These employees are not able to find work elsewhere and put up with the horrific absue that some of these managers doll out. Some goverment agency needs to get involved and help these innocent people from those who seem to be weilding their power over the weakest among us. This is quite a sham.
