project manager

insurance agent

I had the pleasure of working for BAC on two separate occasions the first time I worked in center and I absolutely loved every minute of it! I loved being around the clients they serve the staff was awesome the pay was phenomenal everything was great nothing could be better than that! Many years later I came back and did a job where I was working outside of the agency and that part was not as great because there was a lot of stress put on me by myself to achieve in finding jobs for clients. I was supported by management I did feel like my job was extremely important and I felt as though even though it was a difficult job I was making progress. If I were to recommend BAC to anyone I would highly suggest that they work in Center as the connections and friendships you make are invaluable and the work you do is so important and it touches so many lives. I will always love BAC they will always be part of my family even though I've been gone for some time now but I just think their mission is amazing and what they have accomplished over the many many years they've been open is something that dreams are made of! I feel that if I had gotten a job in Center I would still be there today.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to be a part of a working culture that supports the growth of its employees is amazing. Watching someone come in as a part-time janitor and make a career into moving all the way up to the project manager of a federal contract is exactly what you hope for when you start a new job, the ability to grow and learn. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The work in my department is sometimes challenging with regard to deadlines, however, being able to witness the growth of the agency's mission is worth the challenges. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
BAC has a core value focused on employee growth. They actively embrace our development and encourage us to seek innovative approaches that will help us grow on our own, as well as an organization.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We are dedicated to building communities that support members of all abilities in finding meaningful purpose and reaching their highest potential in life. On my typical day, I am helping to spread awareness of our mission while supporting those who work with me through advocacy efforts and communications.

Been working here for over five years now, and for the most part, it's honestly pretty great, as long as I'm focusing solely on the Custodial aspect, but as time went on, I began to see a lot of cracks that BAC just doesn't bother to fix.

The pay that's listed on Indeed? That's a lie, Custodial gets $11.47 an hour, it's been that way since I arrived, and it's one of the two jobs that didn't get a raise in the past 5 years, with the other being the contract Meat Room cleaner.

The Project Managers, all three that I've experienced, are heavily lacking in some manner. None of them seemed to understand the position that they were in, none of them ever bothered to learn about their workers, beyond their names, and one of them even was unable to conjure a basic, fair, schedule.

Your day starts off trying to figure out where your team lead is at. You will have reasonable work handed your way, but be ready to deal with the lead custodian slacking off on the mobile scrubber, using it like a rascal to get from point A to point B. I learned that not everyone is dependable when getting their responsibilities done. Management is poor. Manager WILL RETALIATE if you go to Human Resources and will falsely accuse you for her issues. There is no company community at all. It's non-existent or hostile towards the custodial workers. God help you if you're in custodial, the manager will disrespect you to her usual extent. I have nothing good to say about this company. I have lost faith in their manager's competence in their responsibilities and duties.

Would like to change careers.  That is why I have been taking business classes at EFSC. AARP Foundation WorkSearch Program  found me a job at The American Red Cross, Rockledge, FL June 2009- July 2010.  I worked as a Receptionist/Clerical Support which I enjoyed very much.  I assisted walk-in clients with current programs offered, and processing their payments.  Accountable for distribution of daily company mail.  Collected and processed money from individuals to be used for donation purposes.  Responsible for vendor communication to ensure products were always in stock.

Upward mobility in the company is difficult to achieve as it seems to depend purely on years of experience and not ability or education. While this is a great company to start off with it isn't a place I would stay. As they claim to offer advancement and yet any attempt to do so is nearly ignored. The benefits are wonderful but there is a lack of communication between some departments and at times it can feel like and us against them dynamic. While some departments grow others are being strained more and more to where it becomes difficult to meet expectations. Overall it does have a family atmosphere and is a good place to start when entering the workforce but I would suggest moving on as soon as you begin to experience diminishing returns because you're unable to advance. 

Very fast paced during the day and more so during the holidays, people can be very crazy and nasty as ever, management can be very good and helpful when they show up to help other wise is a one person a shift, always outdoors which is great can be very hot though, if you have any problems though management will be there to help or they will send someone to help you. The Hardest part about working at the rest area is the crazy busy days and having to work on the holidays when you would rather be at home with your children and families. The best part about working at the rest area is being able to see all the children running around in the fields playing and seeing all the different kinds of animals that come through there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with great people, environment, company mission, tuition program and the pay!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The point system for missing work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is great you work at some awesome places with some great perks. The culture is inspiring, cheerful, and friendly!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clocking into work have muster meeting in the morning getting your assignments. Then carrying out your set assignment. Taking your brakes and your lunch and then coming back I'm working on your assignments more. Coming back to the office chatting with your friends why you waiting to clock out.

I really enjoyed working for a company with such a great mission! Brevard Achievement Center has great ethics and principals.  My job was very challenging but rewarding. I got to go out into the community and find adults with disabilities jobs! I learned how to flex into each clients personality so I could get them jobs. Management was very involved in my performance. The culture of working there was unlike any other job I have had, everyone was really friendly! The hardest part of the job was not finding someone a job for a very long time but the most enjoyable part of my job was getting people great career type jobs! A typical day at work for me would include me interviewing a client for their practice or teaching them a computer skill and so on.

Unfortunately, some of the contracts do not have raises. The environment of BAC itself is a beautiful place to be.  Definitely not the best Pay but a nice group of individuals. The PTO time is very good. Tons of paid time off. Unfortunately going to be difficult making 1 wage for the entire career. Whatever hourly you are hired at is the same as you will make "forever". I do think it's a great place to work if you're not needing to make the best money.  Insurance is great and very affordable. The benefits are worth it! Many people do not have to work as much as others, so just be prepared for the favoritism.
