Supervisor Assistant to Night Watch Security (Former Employee), Floral City, FL – May 23, 2012
Pros: it was mostly a relaxed job, youth were asleep, most nights at least.
Cons: some nights we had to take quick breaks
As Supervisor Assistant, I came into work at 9pm to get things set up for my crew, things they would need to work through there shift. I learned how to get along great with others and be a team player as well as getting a good grip on being in charge of a whole team. The hardest part was when employees were having an argument and I had to speak to them – more... about it, but I got alot better at it as I got more experience. my coworkers were great. My supervisor was really great, got along with him very good. – less
Possibly rewarding but salaries are below average with evening and weekend hours. Paperwork will kill you.
Re-entry counselor (Former Employee), Ft lauderdale – May 8, 2012
Pros: benefits are better than average, flexible schedule.
Cons: very low pay for a ba and long hours.
Working at Eckerd can be very rewarding but be prepared to work until 8pm, some evening work with very low pay - around 30,000 to start with a BA. Not much room for advancement. Massive amount of paperwork. Turnover is quite high.
Administrative Coordinator (Former Employee), Boomer, NC – March 9, 2012
Pros: free lunch, benifits, nice facility, family friendly, meeting new people, most of all helping youth
Cons: hiring policy for couples
I started working in 2005 as temp. cook. In one year I was Teachers Aide and in another 1 1/2 years I was Administrative Coordinator. The advancement opportunities were great and the timing was right for me. In May 2011 I lost my job due to budget cuts. Now the facility is reopened. I was denied my job because my spouse works at the same facility. Problem – more... is we worked together 6+ years with no problems and we are being punished for other people's mistakes. I feel that all employees that stayed through the closure of the program should have been offered their jobs back..PERIOD! regardless of policy changes. If you are a loyal employee the company should stay loyal to you. I did not chose to leave this company and currently still seeking full time employment after 10 months. No jobs to be found in Wilkes County, NC Everyone deserves second chances..Adults and Youth alike! – less
