What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some days are busy and others are relaxed. Daily sessions are scheduled by therapist so it is up to the therapist to schedule accordingly. This is typical with any company/practice setting and Ive ways felt supported if needed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome! I love it!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8-4. I schedule my sessions so some days I make it where I have sessions back to back, but there is always time in between or after to complete what is needed. There are many days where it is more relaxed with few sessions and cancellations do occur.

A typical day at work might include doing something for the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction or prepping for a workshop the next day. I've learned how to source and maintain vendor and venue relationships, The management is very laid back. The workplace culture emphasizes collaboration and innovation. The hardest part of the job is keeping tabs on 12 different coordinators. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching an event happen and people enjoy themselves.

Pros
Mileage to and from my clients house so that pays for heading home to work with my hubby who also works from home or to my own personal or kiddos appointments!
I make my own schedule and can take care of own kiddos and help with my kids sports teams, hobbies, tutoring and volunteer at theyre school!
Free trips to conferences to ensure my license is up to date!
Great pay!!

Great support and encouragement from administrators. Other staff extremely helpful. Very team oriented work environment. The work was a good mix of learning new things every day and also similar day to day tasks. Really liked the opportunity to problem solve on a daily basis. No one looking over my shoulder, I was in charge of how my day was planned and what tasks to do based on what I thought was priority.

hours are good, rarely any overtime. management is terrible. some coworkers are great. lately management has been bringing in some people they personally know with little experience, given no training, and blame old staff when problems occur.

The manager I worked for pushed a certain political opinion which I did not share. It made for much tension in the job. There was also not advancement opportunities without a teaching degree.

Pay could be better overall, but the schedule is nice for 10 month employees if they have kids. Management styles depend on what department you are a part of. If you are not in the “education” field and just a clerical worker there isn’t much room for growth. 

People lie and stab you in the back, then take your position. Heaven help you if you have a health problem. Find any place else to work. This is the worst company I ever worked for.

My experience at KRESA has been tremendous.  I've always enjoyed coming into the office and working with my superiors and coworkers.  We are able to provide service to all the districts and our KRESA sites on a daily basis.  

The emphasis of the organization is always on the kids. I was lucky to have great management that never lost focus of the teams goal, and made every employee feel valuable.
