My employment for the state was great
Unit management administrator (Former Employee), Grafton, OH – February 5, 2013
Pros: excellent benefits and job security
Cons: set pay scale and pay wasn't based on merit
I began working for the state when I was 21 and I was in numerous positions and learned clerical, management and life skills while I was employed. By starting at a young age I was able to retire at the age of 50. The hardest part of the job would be that while working for the government I didn't receive exposure to the workforce in the public sector.

Home Healthcare Aide, Independent Contractor (Former Employee), Dublin, OH – November 10, 2012
A typical work day was helping an autistic teenager with all of his homework and tutoring him in all of his subjects. I also had to perform fluency drills with him, which helped him with certain movements we take for granted. Another part of the job was I would take him to the local gym and educated him on weightlifting and other physical training.
