Big Brothers Big Sisters Employer Reviews

I enjoyed volunteering for this agency due to its flexibility and support. The mentor supervisors offered ongoing consultation and assistance.

Flexible hours, in office parties for birthdays, co workers were great to work with, equal mix of desk job and community out reach

Big Brothers Big Sisters was an easy workplace, my boss was great, my co-workers were always nice and helpful, I learned how to stay organized and re-label files and put them where they needed to go so they could be found easily. The hardest part of my job was making sure nothing got lost and if so finding out where it went.

I learned alot about how under represented our youth is in San Diego, and how much a few hours of your day can make a big impact. When me and my lilttle brother go hang out i can see his social skills improving and his confidence has definitely increased as well.

Job was very easy and i loved doing it. lots of fun people and there was always something to do.

Great experience, gives you every opportunity possible to change someones life

My day at work was always changing which I really liked, I enjoyed working with the parents and the children.

Overall my job at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Illinois was amazing. It was the best job that i have ever had. Unfortunately working there requires alot of education that i didn't have. Even though i could do the work, I still wasn't treated as fair as I thought i should have been.

I was at BBBS for only a few months for an internship for the University of Houston. A friendly work environment and I worked in their custom relations department where I made a lot of phone calls to give reference checks on potential volunteers.

I volunteered for BBBS in Connecticut for over 6 months. This company was always responsive to my needs and suggestions. They connected me with an awesome little girl who was a perfect match for me. The hardest part of this position was having to send her back to her family each day I spent with her. I loved teaching her new things, and being a part – more... of her growing up process. – less

The best part of this job is the co-workers & the executive director. Excellent work environment!!

My volunteer work included acting as a role model for a child. It was amazing to be there for a young person in need.

Organized donations that came in.
Took calls & called out to schedule pick-ups of donation items as well as take care of customer complains.
I learned how to take care of customers in an effective manner & left them satisfied.
Management was good at making sure things at work were flowing well.
The hardest part would be when too many donations would – more... come in all at once or too many people would donate all at once, since there was only one person on shift taking care of it.
The most enjoyable part was being able to turn an angry customer into a satisfied customer at the end of a call. – less

This is a great organization with lots of friendly staff that only want to help you grow as an intern!

This was my first college internship. It was a great experience. I worked with the youth at their schools. I helped them with homework and even personal issues. Many of them really appreciated me. They gave me greeting cards when I completed the program.

The work/life balance is great, beauty of working in a small office is knowing your co-workers on a personal level and avoiding a lot of the distracting office politics. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with the youth and their families.

Many times they just did not have the staff needed to maintain the projects set out. They are a great company growing but need to offer more to their employees.

Mentored and worked with 9 students that required extra support.

As part if my University project, I had the opportunity to find the draw backs and problem in the organization and to develop a workshop to make the staff aware of the problems and how to overcome those.
