Acts

This organization recently underwent a complete reorganization in the past year and a new CEO was hired in 2015, The organization is in a very fragile financial state. When I was hired, a deficit was forecast for fiscal 2016. I developed a plan for producing a break even or even positive cash flow. The board of directors approved the plan. My work involved writing 5 grants producing over $ 1 million. I also implemented a successful membership campaign, organized
the organization's annual event that was estimated to produce $75k, a sizable increase over the prior year, Things were looking up.

The CEO had his own ideas and implemented his own ideas or duplicated my ideas as his own. It made the situation at work very uncomfortable for me and confused the staff, which was very  supportive of me during the transition. After a couple of months, the situation became uncomfortable for me, and the CEO and I parted company.

ACTS is a horrible place to work. As others have said, they only care about production and really couldn't care less about staff and clients. It's all about the money. You will hear about production and money a lot, and don't be fooled into thinking you'll only have one job title. You will need to wear many, many hats. You get no training (and when you finally feel confident in something they will change it or tell you that you are doing it wrong). You'll feel unstable and insecure in your job, and more than likely you won't even know what your job is or how to do it. This company feels like high school. You have the popular kids, which would be upper management, and then everyone else, which is the regular staff. If you are not in the group of popular kids you won't make any difference to anyone.

I tell you what. You never miss a good thing until it's gone. I enjoyed working here most days and some days no. I miss the support and togetherness they offered. I didnt expect to be here that long but im thankful. What broke my heart is when they closed there last 2 fort lauderdale houses and let Avidity take over. I felt like all that hard work and dedication for nothing . Yeah the Tampa location is still open but to give  us a ultimatum to get the Covid shot or risk being fired then later to up and close. Is heartbreaking. 

Loved the job and the company until management changed, administration started to allow an extremely hostile work environment and playing favorites. Started allowing certain employees to boss others around outside the normal chain of command, and allowed those same employees to start running the center. No longer felt like the purpose was to help the clients in my opinion, but sometimes that was needed. However having upper management treat employees like garbage due to their own personal issues was not needed and extremely upsetting to go through. 

LOVED the job.A typical day consisted of switching bins,emptying trash,cleaning up,setting up supplies and work areas to be more efficient,sorting pricing labeling and putting the merchandise on the floor,and working the warehouse.Assisting customers was always met with a smile and assistance.  I was told repeatedly by management I was doing a wonderful job at both the store and the warehouse. The hardest part was leaving. The most enjoyable part of the job was the feel of accomplishment I felt at the end of each day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
What I learned there. Also  the many wonderful staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 Management was not helpful. Also poor pay

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 Poor communication with management and none supportive managers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The shift was mostly busy andchallenging.

after 10 years  company was still not  doing well  GM needed to be in Sales as he was excellent people person and very knowledgeable of services.  Had no background as a Manager as evidenced in daily practice and thus issues in that field. Basically an ok company. The people were for the most  part great, the management of those people was the weak part.no experience!
Special people did not have to abide by same rules as others.

Sometimes there are busy days and slow days especial on summer time mostly busy and on winter time is slow.I enjoy work there,i have been work there for a while i enjoy seen different people from all around the world.Is since a good environment to work there.The hardest part about this job is weather changing,other than that its a cool  place to meet people.

The population served is in need of good advocates, education on management of conditions and resources to do so, and it’s truly meaningful work if you make it so. Takes a tremendous amount of patience and empathy, but if you want to provide ethical services that are unbiased and systematically, then working here is worthwhile. Employee culture can be a little abrasive, but the change in culture status with YOU! Lead by example.

This job can be a little stressful because your dealing with foster girls in care under dcf and we must show all clients respect no matter the reason of them being in our program.

But I love what I do and just learning and getting experience and showing them that there's someone out there that cares and wants to motivated them is here to listen is what makes me happy to work in this field.
