COMPTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Employer Reviews

Productive fun enviorment to work. Students were excellent.

At times adminitrations, seemed to hinder the educational process. I am sure the demands of the State had much to do with it but the inconsistant behavior was difficult at times.

The benefit package is decent, the culture is challenging, I don't know about job security.

My day starts at 6:00a.m., I open a school cafateria and begin to set up the computer for breakfast. Make sure the production sheets are correct for the week.

I learned how the school system works.

the hardest part of my job is coming to work and knowing I – more... can't advance anywere with three degrees!

I enjoy being around people! – less

Love working with team players and loved the look on peoples faces when you help them, very rewarding.

You will only get a permanent job if you are a family member or if you know someone.

Daily I repair plumbing for residential and commercial companies.

All staff members who directly supervise pupils must meet the minimum qualifications, hiring requirements, and procedures for an instructional aide in the school district. School site principals approve site supervisors for the after school program and ensure that the program maintains a pupil-to-staff member ratio of no more than 20 to 1.

Work atmosphere is very relaxed. I was able to move up quickly within the company. The department I worked in was more on auto pilot so it never really mattered who was the manager at any given time. For many years there was a revolving door as far as management is concerned but the departmental crew remained consistent as did the work flow. The hardest – more... part was when a new Director would come in who just did not fit into the atmosphere of the office and most enjoyable part was the relationships and closeness of the staff. – less

I come in and talked to parents about kids being out sick, who may be in the hospital or may have brocken arms.

At recess I have students who come in because of doctor's restrictions, i usually have something fun for the kids to do while all the other kids are at the playground.

The office works as a team.

I enjoy working with people (kinder/5th – more... grade students, teachers, parents) – less

Working in education has its ups and downs, but being able to reach children and help them accomplish their goals outweighs and headaches that you may endure on a daily basis.

As a substitute teacher, each day was different! I would experience different schools, different grades, different structures each day. I would spend an hour or so on each discipline. I learned the importance of being flexible and able to "go with the flow". I enjoyed being able to meet different principals, administrators and teachers. Since I was – more... on call to different schools within the district, I was able to see how each school was organized and the required materials administered. Although there is freedom in going to different schools, the difficulty comes in the fact that I have to constantly adjust to a new set of rules. I never had the freedom to get into my own routine and master accomplishing set goals. – less

I think that if mangers walk off there jobs they should get fired

If you are looking for job stability and personal satisfaction in what you are doing everyday, don't apply here.
