CEDA Employer Reviews

I really enjoy working at Ceda, because I meet new people every day and I faced different challenges with a wide variety of housing stock and constuction types. As our motto is "Helping People and Changing Lives."

Filled with fantastic busy days.Learned alot about properties.

Made alot of good freinds that I still facebook today! I loved it! Went downtown everyday. The adventure was GREAT!

On a daily basis, I counsel clients one-on-one and in class settings about various nutrition topics. I attend monthly staff meetings and finish daily reports to ensure program quality. I have learned various nutrition regulatory issues that I have translated into understandable language for my clientele.

Working with the youth was a bit of a challange, because some had no life skills experience. After working with the student a developed a relationship that was bulit on trust and respect and commitment to strive for goals.

I worked anywhere from 8 to 12 hour days, Monday's through Friday's and if needed Saturday also. I would check my voicemail, call clients & utility companies, verified documents, also helped with intake at front desk when a client wanted to speak to a supervisor, I was one of two team leads who would answer questions, train 50 to 70 employees on the – more... Liheap system, & help with some computer issues. This position was a great learning experience, I have basic training in Excel, Word, & PowerPoint, I had to keep up with the documents because the criteria would or could change each year. My bosses and co-workers were easy and fun to work with.
The hardest part of this job was having to tell someone that I could not help them. The best part of this job was doing intake at events and being able to help families in need. – less

Decent programs for the community. Needs change in the upper and middle management.

A typical day at CEDA consists of a loving environment where you felt like you belong, happy staff (co-workers and management), you were more of a family that was your home not your work place. You walk into the classroom and greeted by co-workers,children and sometimes the children family(ies).
I learned while working at CEDA is that the myth that – more... all women can't work together because they won't be able to get along is not true, we all got along fine, and respected each other.
Management at CEDA was great, management would walk into the classroom and acknowledge your appearance, not just saying hello, but holding a conversation about the children art on the walls anything that may have happened on her way to work, sometimes she would ask about your family at home, how you are doing?.
The hardest part of this job, I would have to say was not having the training to work with children who was diagnosis with either a learning disability or illness and didn't have the training to work with them.
The most enjoyable part of this job is making friends, being appraised for your work, the trainings that enhanced my knowledge of how to be a better teacher and knowing that I had a part in teaching children social and academic skills that would help them in our world. – less

A typical day at work could most time feel longer than a much busier work place, however I have been Volunteering now for almost three years and i hope to do so again this year if i have not found a place of empolyment.

A typical day at work involved me helping clients get assistance with their utility bills. I learned that everyone has their own story and no matter what people go through, some of them continue to smile through hard times. Management was ok, the rules were changed daily. My co-workers were excellent, very friendly and helpful with anything that I needed. – more... The hardest part of the job was seeing people cry to be honest. The most enjoyable part of my day was knowing that I was a part of helping a family get their bills under control or at least down some to where they could manage them. – less
