Great Place to work
Program Manager (Current Employee), Alamosa, CO – June 7, 2012
The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with the youth. Anything from talking to them about problems at home to working with them with their homework was always a pleasure. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the parents, and managing the different personalities of my staff members. My typical day at work includes meetings – more... with the executive director about anything from upcoming and events and training's to how we are doing as a staff. The biggest thing I have learned from working with the club is communication is the key to anything that one would want and or consider to be a success. Without communication at the club we would be in confusion about what is supposed to be going on during the day. I could not have asked for better co-workers. They are up-beat and passionate about the job just like I am. – less
