Pros

Great Industry...(Workforce Development) the company helps people get jobs by building them up (mentally), providing and/ or coordinating training, helping participants overcome numerous "barriers" (ie childcare, housing, education etc) to achieve long term employment. Which in my humble opinion is how you make a lasting impact on the participant, their children and their community. Most people work in the industry...

Cons

Difficult industry... the great majority of $$$ is gov't based (ie Federal, State, County) so their is significant compliance requirements... and the $$$ is never enough. As noted in the Pro's... most people work in the industry because they love helping people... so it's not a 9-5pm job. As an industry, staff is underpaid comparative to other industry's... difficult to find and retain talent... Bottomline...

You meet some nice co workers who are in the same boat as you.

Cons

From day one KRA gave me a bad gut feeling. Day one was half “orientation” half day of sitting at a desk (if you call 1/4 of a normal sized cubicle a desk/workspace) where you do not have access to anything so you sit there for hours on end. That quickly changes though because you will not be given any training or be prepared for the program and be given over 100 cases. You will also be given a “mentor” who, depending...

Pros

Working with the participant and coworkers.

Cons

Management doesn't care about their employees. Supervisors show favoritism. No room for growth.

Advice to Management

Corporate need to pay more attention to their employees. Its a hard environment to work in when the boss is sleeping with the supervisor. Supervisor don't know how to talk to people they are very disrespectful. No matter what you do its never good enough. You are never praised if your doing a good job but if you do something wrong your head is on the chopping block.
