Productive and Interesting Organization
Tax-Aide Team Analyst (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – January 2, 2019
Hardworking workplace culture. Had an opportunity to learn new skills required by my position.

The most enjoyable part of the job was learning new skills and becoming engaged in a few projects from beginning to end.

Reluctance of management to assign work to new staff.
Good program
Senior Community Services (Former Employee) – Pahrump, NV – December 26, 2018
Senior work.
I enjoyed my work at a Animal Shelter.
Only draw back was the internal fiasco at the location I worked. They were going through some changes, which created friction amoung the workers and the public.

Custodian (Current Employee) – Pittsburgh, PA – December 10, 2018
A typical day at work is casual, I'm either hanging blinds, or doing light house keeping. I've learned to adjust my schedule to maximize my experience using the limited time that I'm paid for. Management is fun to work with, and the assignments are light, and I can talk to them about problems, and report finished work without a whole lot of complications. The workplace culture is patient, relaxed, and full of peacefule people who enjoy communicating. The hardest part of the job is getting done with assignments in the limited time that AARP will pay me for, and the most enjoyable part of the job is the people who like to be a team.
Pros
Food Bank privileges.
Cons
Hours are too short.
