Asking Questions before you are hired is the KEY to making sure the JOB is a fit for you - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Schenectady Community Action Program

Great caseloads and room for clinical growth

Office is in sketchy part of town

The clients were great people to work with, my immediate supervisor was great at breaking down the process of the intricate state reports and answering questions along the way, there was encouragement and autonomy in reaching out to perspective employers on the behalf of the clients

The interoffice dynamics were incredibly toxic. The pay and small print on the benefits were obviously not the only reason for a high turnover in the one department. Emergency services, housing and Head Start had happy people in well lit recently painted and carpeted office space. Employment services was anxiety ridden, dark and old. It didn't have so much as a window or a quiet place for clients to take a qualifying exam. They counseled clients to work issues out directly with fellow employees first and then go to higher ups but practiced the reverse.
