Everyone should be equal
Intern at Burrus Elementary (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
I enjoyed working with Communities in Schools. I like their values and how they try to help every child that needs them, from school supplies to eye glasses. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the reward of your efforts immediately.

Independence and flexibility are needed to work here
Case Manager (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX –
Pros: encourages independence, generous personal time off
Cons: minimum guidance, frequent transfers, heavy local travel
A decent place to work for women with families due to flexibility and generous personal time off when needed. Makes an effort to let employees know they are appreciated: employees are recognized for contributions and lunches are provided at training and parties. However, one must be flexible due to frequent re-assignment and advancement is limited. – more...  Must use own vehicle for frequent travel around town with little compensation. – less
