Eliot Community Human Services Employer Reviews

It was a wonderful walking into the shift and knowing that I can help someone change their lives. I learned how to be patient and very comprhensive when working with ppl with mental behaviors. Mangement could have been more involved with clients. The co-workers were wonderful we always looked out and assisted one another. The hardest part of the job – more... was being so attached with client and had to watch them leave the program for the better.The most enjoyable part of the job was helping a client change their lives – less

Eliot has been a valuable learning experience for me. Their dedication to training employees and their openness to allowing clinicians to advance within their company are two of their best values. My average day is very busy, seeing 8 or 9 clients, but since I am allowed flexibility in constructing my schedule it does not tend to be stressful. It is – more... a great jumping off point. – less

I had a great time at ECHS. Great pay, great benefits, great advancement opportunities. Difficult work, but rewarding.

Worked as a student intern and had a great experience! The staff was welcoming and taught me alot!

Although I loved working with the kids it's difficult to actually get the job done with all of the office politics going on, if your not part of the 'in crowd' than forget about advancement. This is the job for you if you have no voice, passions or opinions and you enjoy being treated as an indentured servant with virtually no recognition.

Job was rewarding. Management seemed unorganized, hours were not great.

The typical work day started with going over appointment schedules, inventory of the medications and preparing persons served for daily activities. I learned a tremendous amount about persons served such as how to encourage them into productive activities, intervention techniques and how to deescalate tense situations. The hardest part of the job was – more... attending to each individuals needs while respecting the other residents in the CBFS home. This was a balancing act, but was able to be accomplished with restraint. – less

Heavy work load.
Great co-workers
Continuous change in management

The supervisors during my shifts are great and supportive. Without them, I am not sure I would have been able to keep doing this position for as long as I have. Since I work off hours, it can be difficult to communicate with full time staff and drop off paperwork, as needed. I have spoken several times with management about this but nothing has been – more... arranged to help with this. Sometimes expectations from management are not in accordance with reality. – less

I enjoyed my time with "Eliot" for many reasons. I was able to learn and to grow both personally and professionally. I enjoyed working with my co workers and learned alot from them about 'the field' and how to preform the job to the best of my ability. I really loved developing a relationship with the kids. Watching them leave the home was challenging – more... but an inevitable aspect fo the job. – less

Nice people, knowledgeable, good benefits, and a good learning experience
