Beyond the details of the specific position, we find people are usually curious about the company. Breaking Barriers is an employee-centered company. We view our clients as human beings and our staff as partners. I know there's a lot of lip service out there, so here's some concrete details.

• The industry turnover rate is between 25-40% depending on the service. Ours is 8%. The industry 1-year retention rate is 39%. Breaking Barriers: 80%.
• Every person who works at Breaking Barriers does at least 4 hours of direct support services per week. Doesn't matter if you're part time in billing, upper management, or one of the owners. Everyone is doing the same work you are, every week. Your boss will not be out of touch, and they will understand what you do.
• Our written policy states that hourly employees are only required to respond to communication on the days they work. When you're off... you're off. Everything is scheduled in advance and you cannot be called into work.
• Our staff choose the locations they are able to work, the amount of hours they work, and when they're available. BB does not schedule our employees outside of those limitations. Ever.

Honestly I'm extremely proud of what we've built in the metro, and extremely excited seeing so much similar, positive growth in Rochester. Make no mistake, we haven't discovered some magic trick to achieve these sorts of results. It costs money, time and effort - we just believe this kind of workplace is well worth the investment.

Well, I think that's enough of a pitch to get us started! My guess is that the people still reading this have already decided if they're interested.

OK! Looking forward to speaking soon!
