El Proyecto del Barrio

It does not. While El Proyecto has a multitude and plentitude of funding sources, money that goes into this non-profit does not get evenly distributed amongst its locations. Many locations are underkept, aesthetically neglected, understaffed, employ professional staff that is underpaid, employ unprofessional staff that affects client/patient morale, and hold onto staff that do not care or contributes to the mission of El Proyecto del Barrio. In my time here, never once have I seen or interacted with members of the board or managers other than the one at the location where I am employed. There are many hard working employees that go unrecognized and either burn out or leave. At the rate that people leave and get hired here, you could bet money and not lose because the turnover is consistent and consistently high. I would only ever recommend this to someone who needs $37K a year to live with their parents or in a room and not be homeless. If they do not have any educational background and need healthcare and dental plans but can't afford to pay out of pocket. Anyone aspiring to advance a career in non-profit I would advise against working here past 6 months. The turnover rate is from 3 months to 1 year and then employees leave. 

Morale was very low, no raises, no encouragement or positive recognition from management for anybody.  A lot of confusion and competition between co- workers. Little training for new processes. No advancement available. A feeling like you cannot take time off or be sick because your co-workers would have to do without enough help. Stressful environment due to poor management and unfair work distribution. 
Constantly short staffed.

*It is very organized and everyone knows what they are doing. 
*Each person has its own group of low income peoples files to work with and makes sure all the papers are ready. 
*Before they help you to look for a place to work at, you need to complete 120 hours of learning at their place. Throughout this hours, you get to develop how to be more professional, organized, how to properly use the internet, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and etc. They also prepare you you for your job interviews, starting from what you need to wear and what to take with you. Last not least they teach you the proper way of making a nice presentable resume.

Back when I worked with them, my job was doing their files, making sure they have all their papers, I would do copies, fax, computer work, walk around to help the people if they had questions. I enjoyed working there for I got to help people and support them with everything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
To be in contact with the undeserved community and  give some help to those who need it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The managers are the biggest issue there. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management never does in-depth investigations into work situations, they are biased towards employees who are close to them, based on pure hearsay or gossip; and they fire employees without giving them any kind of explanation minutes before the time of departure of their last day, without prior notice to the employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful trying to avoid problematic coworkers.

Supervise staff,chart review, administration of injectables, scanning of pt docs (charts), completion of CMR, keep work flow of clinic, manage medications, monthly reports, process clinic orders, complete "job duties" added which are in reality a whole other job title with no additional compensation. Cons: No overtime, no structured training, management is a bit disorganized and directions are at times inconsistent. Pts have very long wait times and working conditions are not the best they can be. Chain of command is used as a "scare tactic" so be sure to follow it or they state you will be written up.

Working at the clinic is truly an experience with learning on to verify insurances and getting more knowledge. Management needs help definatly but everyone seems to be able to pull their own weight and succeed at the end. The employees here try to work togother and get things done accordingly. We always try to do whats best for the patient and help in every way possible. The hardest part is learning how fast you have to go and be oragnized at the same time. The more enojoable is knowing you were able to finish all your work on time with the help of your department.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help others! Whether it is in healthcare, child development, or training/job-placement services the organization offers a variety of resources available to the community.

The company also provides the opportunity for employees to learn and build skills through online modules, hands-on training, and an Education Assistance Program with tuition reimbursement.

Staff are dedicated to serving the community!

A day at work was usually really busy, which made the day go by fast, it was always busy so people will be in and out all day. Co workers were so nice and eager to work. Overall it was  a great place though it did have its times where drama and gossip will linger, nothing too serious but like all job fields, sometimes you just have to ignore it, management was on point, even though there were a lot of changes being made in management.

As a first job as an MA it was a great experience learning everything I needed to continue my experience in the medical field. I learned how to work with several providers from the pediatrician to your family nurse practitioner. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was giving vaccines, getting to know the patients as we help with their needs, and doing certain procedures as addressing wounds.

The children's center is a very warm and welcoming place for both children and parents. The teachers are friendly and approachable. Management needs to become more in tune with what it means to run a children's center, since the foundation is medical clinics. There are no retirement or life insurance benefits, they only provide medical/dental insurance. Job security gets a thumbs down.
