Challenging workplace at child's home.
Personal Assistant (Former Employee), Taylor, MI – February 25, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule, salary
Cons: no breaks
I would work, usually a 6-8 hour shift assisting the child from getting dressed, to making meals, to helping learn letters and numbers. I learned how better to relate to those on different levels than yourself. There were other co-workers, but it was a one person per shift job. The hardest part of the job was the physical aggression that occurred from – more... time to time. The best part of the job was helping the child to further develop and see the milestones being passed. – less

Poor pay but flexible schedule if part time
Licensed Psychologist (Former Employee), Southgate, MI – January 17, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: terrible pay for people with advanced degrees
An okay place to work part-time but its not worth working there if you want to earn a respectable living for all the hard work you put into your education, at least not if you are a therapist and/or a psychologist with a Ph.D.

Wraparound Supervisor/Field Supervisor (Current Employee), Detroit, MI – December 16, 2012
Pros: flexible work hours
Cons: funding is always an issue
I have enjoyed every moment of my employment with The Guidance Center. I have learned an immeasureable amout of patience and understanding in working with the Mental Health population. This jobs has had ups and downs, just as any job. However, I believe the professionalism and the committment shown to consumers has helped me to be a better person overall. – more... I have been laid off two times which I must admit has been the hardest part of the job as well as the profession. Although, I have enjoyed all of my colleagues, some have become a part of my life aside work. A few of them have brought so much meaning and joy to me personally that I am very greatful to have met them. – less

A great place to create and develops training that improves employee performance.
Administrative Coordinator (Former Employee), Southgate, MI – June 28, 2012
Pros: flexable scheduling
Cons: no health care plan available
A typical work day would start with a team meeting finalizing the assignments of each day. Working at the Guidance Center has taught me to colaborate with a variety of professionals who were focused on the goal of excellant customer service. Within the time that I have worked in managment has given me a great respect for employee and employer relationship. – more... My former co-workers would best describe me as a team player who could always keep everyone motivated and focused. The most enjoyable part of the job was constructing training manual that covered day to day duties, proper execution of saftey procedures etc.The hardest part of the job was resigning from my position inorder to relocate from Michigan to Arizona, before being able to apart of the full success of my manual and training that I provided. – less

working schedulen is ok
Personal Assistant (Former Employee), Southgate, MI – May 23, 2012
Pros: schedule, ok pay to start
Cons: no health insurance for personal asst. position, no pay increase
being a personal assistant at that job is ok but will better even better if they provided health benefits! you can really get harmed on-site and all you get is a quick visit to their clinic provider. NO DENTAL, NO HEALTHCARE IF YOUR SICK AND NO OPTICAL! But if your cool with that then the job is great for exper. and workable hours!
