What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the center I was working at, and my co-teachers were great. The company itself was the issue.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was told when I was hired that I would be a planted teacher, but I really ended up being a floater. The exact expectations for my role were unclear unless I pressed for answers. I was not trained in how to navigate the systems or in their purpose, but was expected to know and use them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was welcomed in, and the staff were very accepting. I had issues with the corporate management, specifically HR, not being transparent with me. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In a typical day, I would start in my assigned room and prepare to use my lesson plans, but I was often sent to other rooms that lacked sufficient support, so I often did not get to follow through on those activities I'd spent time planning.

The children and families were the best part of the job. Unfortunately, the workplace culture was often unprofessional. Management emphasized professionalism but at times participated in workplace gossip and favoritism, which created unnecessary drama and negatively affected morale. There was also high staff turnover and inconsistent support. While I gained valuable experience, improvements in leadership, communication, and accountability would make this a much better place to work.

I am grateful to work with Chicago Commons who support the seniors.  I have worked with many populations who have Mental illnesses and I find that it overlaps into the Senior population. Working with Seniors has assisted me with deeper compassion and
better understanding of aging process.

Learned alot working with the Child Welfare and DCFS...I learned how much kids need alot of attention and love. Coworkers were great and care for the kids and their whereabouts. The hardest part of my job was seeing the kids been abuse/neglect etc. The most enjoyable about the job was that I would see the little kids and a morning smile.

Chicago Commons was a really great workplace right after my undergraduate degree. It allowed me to be open-minded and become mindful of my own personal and professional boundaries. The team was amazing actually the entire social service sector. They gave me the platform and space to be myself while providing support to the families who we served.
