Archdiocese of Detroit

There  were many positive attributes of integrating your faith with your professional life, but working within the central administration revealed the more "human" side of the Church - with some of the same roadblocks from "management" (both ordained and lay) that you would find in the secular world.  Like many for profit organizations, the culture at the Archdiocese didn't always align with the greater mission.  The hardest part of the job was the slow pace of decision making and the lack of autonomy.  The most enjoyable part of the job were the fine hardworking people and their personal dedication to whatever task they were assigned.  I have great hope for the leadership in the coming years.

A typical day consists of reviewing cases to make sure it has everything before it can move forward in the process. I coordinate each case and make sure it goes where it needs to be. I coordinate between judges, defenders, petitioners, advocates and respondents about any information regarding cases. I take all phone calls from advocates, petitioners and respondents about all current cases to answer any questions regarding a case.

I have learned how each case proceeds, proper phone etiquette,

My co-workers are awesome! The day is never dull with them.

The most enjoyable part of the job are my co-works, the advocates, having as much responsiblity as I do, and coordinating each case.

Really liked the job not hard if your intelligent with work ethic but poor pay start around 10-13 per hour doesn’t matter what you know licensed certificates mean nothing no way for a raise there manager was getting paid 17 an hour after 15 years so not great 4-7 dollars raise after 15 years 
Worked with cool people if they paid maintenance techs 25-30 per hour range with way better  benefits and insurance I would have never left I’d stay forever or until I died 

The benefits are better than most companies and the people are great to work with. Overall it is really a great place to work if you are looking for very little stress, and a second income in your household.The pay is lower than that of most companies and the full time hours are only 35/week for hourly. Mid-level management and interdepartmental communication could use some process improvement, but this is probably true everywhere.

This is a very nice place to work if you are the type of person that likes doing exactly what you are told when you are told to do it and NOTHING more.  You will be reprimanded for going above and beyond. Know your job description and do not do anything outside of it. Also, do not fall for the act that they care about you as a person, they don't.

Terrible principals and terrible educational fads have ruined a once great school system.
The AoD Catholic schools are now mostly public schools with a religion class tacked on.
Many students enrolled during COVID simply because the public schools were closed to in-person instruction.
Too many coworkers engage in gossip and back-biting.
What a sad state of affairs.

A typical day at work starts as soon as you walk in and is fast paced until the days end.  Great place to learn problem solving skills.  My director is not just my boss but a mentor as well.  My legal team provides detail oriented instructions, example and lessons in real estate and law that allow me to perform at a much greater level than what is required.

Overall, this organization has been enjoyable to work for and I really like the support and organization of how the school I work for is run. There is more accountability on students, parents, teachers and admin due to paying for tuition. Everyone is on the same page.

A christian and family-like environment and assisting the parishoners, visitors and others in a Christian manner. A place where everyone work together working toward a common goal.

I took the jobs knowing i would only have them for the summers involved and that there was only so long before other students would come along to take my place. It was mostly sorting the Archdiocese paperwork for their CSA fund drive. Other work involved some inventorying of church properties.
