YWCA Employer Reviews

I would help plan events, made sure that they ran smoothly and helped advertise for events. It was a very fun and easy going working environment. Everyone that worked and volunteered there was great.

In the office setting, I:
I • Assumed total responsibility for office coverage
• Accepted and recorded payments
• Enrolled new attendees
• Coordinated inner-office communication
• Demonstrated telephone communication
The office setting is fast-pace, comfortable, and friendly.

In the classroom setting, I led activities for the children.
I love my co-workers' – more... positive attitudes and encouragement. The hardest part of the job is the benefit dilemma. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing growth in my students. – less

It was a rewarding job because I worked with many small children. I taught them foundations such as; colors , shapes, numbers and letters along with social skills. Co-workers were friendly, caring , loving individuals that wanted to help children. The hardest part of my job was the pay and at the end leaving the children behind.

Keeps you on your toes, always something to do. Ceratin hours are only available for child care.

I had a very good time working at the YWCA, I enjoy this job daily and was happy to go to work. My Co-Workers were kids my age so it was easy to work with them and get in the flow of things. We all enjoy each other outlooks and work habit. Are boss was very lay back and easy to work with and made us grow and reach are high potention. Best Part of this – more... job was being free -spirted, and being able to enjoy time with the kids, take them on trips and teach them new things to learn – less

Great place to work, Very fair and great group of people from all walks of life

During field work, I was able to see that early childhood education needs to focus on each child as a important part of the whole. Children's differences need to be nurtured and respected so they can sense their real value. Observation and assessment allow children to develop good foundations and become independent.

Mission of eliminating racism and empowering women is included in my personal and professional goals

I love working at the YWCA, being able to help women from all faces of life in supporting them in their recovery from domestic violence as well as chemical and substance abuse...... Making a Difference is wonderful

Working and helping the students and staff. Providing safe vehicle transportation for the center staff and students. Assisting the other area sites on center and learning their job duties. Attending outside events such as Aids Walk, Blooddrive, helping with the Make a Difference Day information booths. Learning new info for our data system.

I worked as a victims advocate at the YWCA in Harrisburg, PA. The department I worked in was highly dysfunctional. In the brief period I was employed a department of under 15 employees had 8 people either quit or be terminated on bad terms.
I filed a complaint with the YWCA's HR department and CEO, that the director of my department was discriminating – more... against victims of DV seeking shelter, based on the fact that they had a mental health diagnosis. This allegation was taken as a formal complaint but was never investigated or acted upon. The person the complaint was filed against was informed of my involvement and demanded that I either quit or be terminated based on unspecified performance issues. The YWCA claims to empower women, however they are unable to follow simply policies within the organization regarding employee confidentiality and healthy communications.
I would not recommend this company to anyone looking to settle down for a long term position. I would recommend it to someone looking to add variety to their resume, and who is not sensitive to nonconstructive criticism. – less

Is is a great organization which helps out many families, and their children. It is also very affordable, and many times they are willing to work with you depending on the service you are requiring.

i learned how to do daily and weekly planning. CPR and first aid certifications. could run a class room. had a lot of fun working and teaching children. it felt amazing to be able to teach the children new things

This is my first job being a office assistant and i really like it.. i get to travel learn and grow the food that we eat now days..

Fast paced, demanding, abundance of paper work. Not enough time to meet all their needs without feeling anxiety. High turn over.

Working with babies can made me very happy and the co-workers i had were amazing teachers

Minimum wage with no advancements, second shift management was awesome, first shift not very organized. The work environment was great!

The YWCA of Greater Atlanta was a great place to work for. The job was flexible and family friendly. The pay wasn't that great but the opportunity to impact young people's lives made up for that.

Working at the YWCA was so rewarding as well as educational. I learned so much about infant care and working with others to always meet daily goals. Collaboration amongst the teachers was key to success.

Helping lower income children provide the best resources out side home and schools.
