AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING opportunity!!  I worked for EAC(European Adoption Consultants) for 2 years before i found the current employer West Corporation and what a joy and wonderful experience.  The ability to assist families that were looking to adopt a child and bring them into a home to provide shelter, love, and compassion was overwhelming and rewarding.  Doing this type of job taught me not only that there is so many children out there that are left unwanted but it also taught me that people are willing to do what they can to make a difference in children's life which is the most wonderful thing that could be done for a child.  Management was incredible and loved working with the co-workers who continued to show me new and exciting journeys with the families.  The hardest part i would say with the employment at EAC would the price it cost in order to adopt a child that they are just wanting to love and provide a home for but the most enjoyable is finalizing the adoption and seeing the happy faces of the children and the new parents

I would start in court with clients or do intake and interviews at the Nassau County Correctional Facility. Then back to the office as the program's case manager to handle the many difficulties my clients would experience.

I would prepare court reports for the following day, help clients with social service issues, medical insurance issues, treatment issues for either mental health or substance abuse treatment and I would speak to Probation and Parole Officers regarding client progress.

I was also responsible for performing toxicologies on all clients and making inpatient and outpatient arrangements for treatment. I had dual responsibilities as the Senior Case Manager and Court Liaison for the program.

I also kept statistical records on clients and many of the details required by our funding sources. I prepared quarterly and annual statistical reports required by New York State, Department of Social Services, Department of Probation and the Department of Criminal Justice.

Wonderful people truly wanting to make a difference in their community/the world. The staff consists of people who are mostly on their way to bigger and better things (i.e. doctoral programs, law school), which is both great because of the quality of individuals but also depressing because of the amount of turnover. Some negative aspects are the fact that there is NO semblance of any comprehensive or standardized training system, so when you start you can expect to observe other case managers while dabbling in different tasks for a about a month before having a sizable caseload being dumped in your lap. Once your managing this caseload, expect to be overwhelmed with unrealistic expectations for keeping up with paperwork that unfortunately takes precedent over helping the clients.

if you are starting in the hvac trade small company like that will give you exp.  it is a good starting point and a addition to your resume' but the training is not there it really depends on who you work with. most leads there will treat as a helper and nothing else.  not willing to explain the trade to you at all you will be the go fer person get me this get me that.  but you are working in very large and high end houses it just is all left up to you to learn any way possible. again it is a starting point in your career no advancement no training courses so don't have high expectations.

The work environment at EAC is extremely friendly. Coworkers are very accepting to new employees. Due to being a non-profit agency, the departments tend to be slightly understaffed for the work that is needed. Employees are heavily relied on and work can become very stressful, especially for part time employees who have limited time to get basic, every day tasks completed.

They lead you in with hourly but it's actually commission-based and if you don't sell you don't make no money so even if they offer you $1,000 biweekly it's actually false information this is not a nine-to-five job it's a 9 to 9 job you don't have no time for your family's or loved ones cuz you even work on Saturday 9 to 6 so don't even waste your time if you want to actually make money fast

Small company with the perks of a large company. Fun and exciting placed to work due to the variety of projects. The company offers a family environment.

I just left after being there 2 weeks. Don't get a job there. Save your time.they dont pay like they promise. Say they offer 1month of paid training with 1000 every two weeks then deny me pay because they sold nothing. Horrible racist company that preys on the weak and disabled with scams and now preying on hard workers for free labor.

My work-study job was fine. Several hours a week I'd grade multiple-choice questionnaires for a teacher, then my pay would be disbursed by the department.

Great place to work, wonderful co-workers and awesome Mgmt and Supervisors who truly cared about you and each other.
We were trusted to work on our own yet knowing if needed questions answered we could ask.
