Epilepsy Foundation Employer Reviews

Poorly resourced and managed. Usually 12 hours days. Very high turnover rate.

I thoroughly enjoyed working along with the disabled population. It was a pleasant experience to help the consumers with their goals and daily activities.

Educational HOPE mentor programs.
research for information upon request. Support for families in an on-line community. We grew to a good-sized state support group which I lead. We gathered occasionally.

I learned how to advocate on a state and national level. I saw a bill become a law within our state after 5 years of hard work. I learned how to become – more... a better communicator with electronic methods.

Management was not as efficient as it could have been.

My co-workers were pleasant for the most part. There were times where the communication became challenging.

The hardest part of the job was when an administrator did not state her desires directly to me. She had expectations but did not state them to me. She did not like that I also volunteered for the national epilepsy foundation on a few projects. I did not know that this bothered her prior to my involvement. I did not have a exclusive contract with her foundation. I thought that the more knowledge of the disorder the better for her work. I was mistaken.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the opportunities to take part in advocacy on state and national levels. – less

I started my day reviewing the planned curriculum for the week. I would fix recess and gym equipment. I would rearrange activities if special needs or student circumstances showed cause. Adaptation to the games or activities to allow fullest participation possible by all students.

I learned to be flexible with activities. I also learned documentation, – more... procedures, and medication administration.

The management of the school was excellent.

my co-workers were wonderful.

The hardest part was probably the board of the school.

The most enjoyable part of the school was seeing growth in students. – less

I did a one day shoot for the Epilepsy foundation. It was an even walk and I photographed walkers as well as the sponsor booths. The man in charge was clear in directions and very polite.

I liked EF because it allowed me to advance to a different department. But when I transfer over to the new department I loss a lot of hours and no one did anything about when I complain. I would've stayed there if I could have gotten the hours that was promised to me.
