Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. interview questions

The interview process was pretty simple if you don’t have a certificate they help you receive one and help you with employment placement they set you up with a coordinator if you have any questions or concerns there’s a 24hr hotline to call as well

It was only two interviews. First one was with the Program Director and the second one was with his boss (I don't remember her job title). I didn't get great vibes from either interviewer. It didn't feel like we connected, but I ended up getting a job offer. The HR person was pushy for me to give a decision right away. I asked for a week to think about it and he said that was too long. Ultimately, he gave me from Friday to Tuesday morning, but I had to push for that. The whole process felt very odd and it left a bad taste in my mouth, which was already there because of the very low salary that they wouldn't budge on because of their "funders" ($60,000, and I have an MSW. Meanwhile, their CEO makes over $600,000). It got even worse when I saw how much I would be paying out of pocket for health insurance. It seems this place is like a rusty old factory that just needs heads. I can see that a lot of young people out of school get hired here, probably because they are willing to work the low-paying jobs (still getting help from their parents as well) and either don't know any better or see this as a stepping stone. I don't think many older or experienced people would tolerate this. Judging from LinkedIn profiles of people who work here, there doesn't seem to be a lot of career mobility here either. I would avoid this place if I were you!
