Great Introduction to a Forgotten Population! - Recensione dipendente - Office Manager presso NorthPointe Resources

Highly recommend this position to anyone in or coming out of college as you are launched into the thick of things day one and you will quickly learn a lot. Due to the shortage of staff you will have your fingers in a lot of pies, so no two days will be the same, keeping the days short and interesting. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful, and overall this is as ideal an environment to learn and make mistakes as you're going to find. Work life balance is good, they are very flexible with your hours and while days can often be quite hectic I cannot overstate how quickly time flies around here. Plus this organization does a lot of great things for a lot of people, so that makes getting out of bed in the morning pretty easy too.

The workload is never-ending, cut one snakes head off and three more will take its place, which depending on the day simultaneously represents the best and worst parts of this job . The first month or so can be overwhelming, but they have realistic expectations and give you a chance to learn and grow. Finally, while in many ways you are unofficially the manager of the website, social media, and PR of this organization, you will also be asked to perform more "secretarial" tasks on a fairly regular basis. Also if you do decide to work here make sure you keep a good pair of headphones at your desk. :)

Leadership has come a long way in the last couple of years. They just gave all the DSPs a large raise, and senior management volunteers their time at other places so they can get money here to give us a holiday party and gifts. They are now getting money from grants to paint and fix up the Killian Center and the homes. They now have a great website so we look good on the internet, which will hopefully get more good staff in here. Very flexible with time and wherever possible, they are ok with working at home. They place is getting better and better and I am glad I stuck it out. Hopefully we will all be getting raises soon.

Located in Illinois. What a horribly mismanaged state. So lowest funding in the USA. And Zion as a Location is difficult. This is a depressed area with few companies that can help us out with donations. CTCA has been a great supporter but they are the only big company around here.
