Nice quiet workplace
Data Entry Clerk (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL – April 30, 2013
I loved this job because it was something that I wouldn't mind doing on a daily basis. I loved to type, answer the phone, fax, scan, and transfer calls. I had so much fun at work even though it was very quiet there. I loved the people that were there and I loved my supervisor. There was nothing hard about this job the supervisor was so impressed with – more... me because she showed me one time how to do everything and she didn't have to show me again. I loved working there. The hardest thing to cope with was the fact that it was only a temporary job and I would have loved to make it permanent. – less

A typical day at DHR
Financial Support Worker (Current Employee), Decatur, AL – January 16, 2013
Pros: the opportunity of having the opportunity to return to work after retiring and doing the same job.
Cons: not enough time in a work day to keep up with what needs to be done.
Typical day at work is comining into the office listening to voice mail messages and returning calls to get the day started. Management is most supportive of the work area and is available if needed. Co-workers each have their workloads but help out when one needs help. The hardest past of the job is trying to get ALL necessary paperwork completed and – more... processed the same day it arrives. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing you have helped a family that is is need of assistance. – less
