The Bridge Reviews

Current Employee – been working at The Bridge

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at The Bridge full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Flexible hours, great warm staff, benefits and job stability

Cons – very very very low salary, have not had a salary increase in years, add on a lot of tasks for no pay increases. Trainings are mandatory however, no salary increase for completion.

Advice to Senior Management – I believe management should give regular salary increases. Night differential should be given to all night staff. Getting a bachelors or masters degree should allow for higher salary not $250 increase on your annual salary for associates degree and $500 increase on your annual salary for bachelors. No increase for masters dependent on position. More diverse employees. Higher standards for employment. Senior staff should be employed with more than just GED's there are no high standards for this position. Area directors should have more than a bachelors degree in unrelated fields. There are quite often times where staff in senior positions are brought into the agency with little or absolutely no experience because of a friend that is currently employed. Managers in the residences are not closely monitored and also bring their friends and family into the agency with no experience.

Former Employee – worked at The Bridge

Pros – The Bridge has a fantastic mission and focus on serving teens in Georgia. I truly enjoyed working with the kids, sponsors and the staff.

Cons – In the past two years, The Bridge has been unable to respond appropriately to state legislative changes in human services. It might not be the right direction to go in, but the organization has little to no control over these circumstances.

Advice to Senior Management – My advice would be to look strongly at where the state is moving in health and human services and seek out opportunities in that arena as opposed to hanging on to an antiquated model.
