I've found a professional home at STAR! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso STAR Services

Good training, thorough orientation, flexible hours, fit my schedule, willing to be flexible.

No benefits despite full time employment

STAR cares about their employees and offers a true work/life balance. I can attend my kid's functions, adjust my schedule, or just enjoy an afternoon off without hassle. They have fun activities every month for administrative employees with a focus on team building and doing fun things in our community. My friends are always asking "do you even do work there?" because they hear about the fun things we get to do, celebrating co-workers babies/weddings/life goals, mid-day breaks for bingo, kayaking, bowling, the volunteering we do etc. Yes, we do work too ;-) I always feel like I can suggest ideas, and that they are considered and valued. I like the people I work with, and feel comfortable being myself at work. People who succeed here are motivated, smart and compassionate, they care about making a difference in people's lives. If you are willing to work hard, want to be a part of creating something great, and enjoy a great workplace culture, you'll love STAR. If you prefer drama, negativity or just doing the bare minimum, it isn't the place for you.

Like other social service minded organizations, being a part of doing something important and making a difference can sometimes come at a lower salary than something in the corporate world. They have improved the benefits a lot, with health, dental, LTD, 401k, PTO etc, it helps offset differences in salary. And frankly, the flexibility, great environment and focus on team keeps me happy at work and that is "worth" something to me every day!
