Recognition highlights exceptional workplace culture, employee benefits, and mission-driven environment

Community Based Services (CBS) has been named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Westchester, and in America, a prestigious recognition that not only celebrates the region’s, but the country’s top employers. The announcement comes at an ideal time for job seekers, as CBS is actively hiring across multiple positions and inviting talented individuals to join an award-winning team.

The Best Places to Work in Westchester awards program, promoted by 914INC. in partnership with Best Companies Group, is designed to identify, recognize, and honor exceptional employers that contribute to the region’s economy, workforce, and business community. The rigorous evaluation process examines workplace policies, leadership, corporate culture, pay and benefits, employee engagement, and overall work environment.

What Makes CBS Stand Out?

CBS’s recognition is particularly significant because anonymous employee feedback comprised 75% of the total evaluation. Staff members shared compelling insights about why CBS has become more than just a workplace—it’s a community where people feel valued, supported, and inspired. Below is feedback CBS employees shared in the survey.

"I believe that the agency truly cares for their employees. I have never worked for an agency that gives so many incentives to thank us for work well done."

Another team member highlighted the meaningful nature of the work:

"Our mission is inspiring, and you can see how various people contribute directly to something bigger. It gives our work a profound sense of purpose and makes you proud to be part of it."

The comprehensive benefits and respectful workplace culture also resonated strongly with staff:

"The organization maintains a clean and beautiful work environment but mostly treats me with dignity and respect. The benefits are fair and competitive, and my voice is heard and respected. We have other great benefits like luncheons, bonuses, and employee communications that are helpful to keep me informed. I love this place."

A Career, Not Just a Job

Dr. Vicki Sylvester’s journey with CBS is a testament to the agency’s belief in growing talent from within. Starting her career in entry-level role, she rose through the ranks by embracing every opportunity to learn, lead, and innovate. Her story mirrors that of many CBS team members who began in entry-level roles and evolved into leadership positions—proof that CBS doesn’t just offer jobs, it builds careers.

“At CBS, we believe in the power of purpose and the potential of people,” said Dr. Sylvester, CEO of Community Based Services. “I’ve grown alongside this agency, and I’ve seen firsthand how investing in our team transforms lives—not just for those we serve, but for staff who support them. We foster a culture where every voice matters, every role is valued, and every person has the opportunity to thrive. That’s what makes CBS a truly special place to work.”

Join an Award-Winning Team

CBS is currently hiring for multiple positions across programs and departments. This recognition as a Best Place to Work comes at a time when finding meaningful employment can be challenging, particularly for recent graduates and career changers. Candidates interested in joining this award-winning organization can explore current openings and apply here. CBS welcomes people who are passionate about making a difference, value collaborative workplace cultures, and seek meaningful careers with impact.

“Come for the purpose, stay for the people,” is more than a slogan at CBS—it’s the reality that employees experience every day. The agency’s 40+ year history of serving people with autism and developmental disabilities provides meaningful work that makes a tangible difference in people’s lives.
