Day begins with warm morning greetings and small chatter as we begin to flow into our order of work mode. Each day is filled with new knowledge of some sort that will help to build a better business daily. Management is always available to offer a helping hand and is always hands on in the business daily. The culture of the business to always treat others as you would treat your dearest loved one and remember everyone has a bad day sometimes. At the same time being knowledgeable in the services that maybe being provided at that time. Each day offers new challenges while you will have a customer that goes away happy, you may sometimes feel as though you could have done more. As with any or most the instant gratification of knowing you just helped someone out and hearing the joy in the voice or the huge smile upon a clients face.

This is a rewarding place to work when you love children.  A typical day at work allows one to play with, share, and monitor a child's behavior in a least intimidating environment.  Through employment with this organization, I have learned to be more open-minded and non-judgmental when evaluating children.  The hardest part about this job is taking the children back to a dysfunctional environment after a productive session. My co-workers have a professional attitude and they all work very hard to make sure that children receive the they deserve.  The most enjoyable part of this job is the prospect of redirecting a child who could be heading down a destructive path and placing them on a productive one.

LES is a unique place because we find ways to help the entire person, mentally, spiritually, physically and economically.  This is real and we have countless stories attesting this.  One example is a 34 year old mother with seven kids ranging from ages 1 - 16 years old.  We assessed the family's situation, provided mom mental health services, physical / medical care for two female children under 3, specific abuse treatment for another child under 6, identified rental assistance, grocery assistance and mentored the older boys.  All in a days work.

It was a great place to work. They were flexible, caring and understanding. However, the primary owner in NC did not care for the quality of services or staff. He only cared about the money. Neither did he care about the consumers and where they were going to transfer them to. As soon as the state put the agency on probation they did not comply with the state and therefore the agency shut down operation and now owes several employees thousands of dollars.

Unfortunately, the promises made to me at the time of hire ended up to be under false pretenses. Upon being hire and for 17 days following I was told that I would be the office manager/ assistant director. The CEO wanted to train me to take over her business at the time she retired. Although, everyday I was showered with compliments on my work performance and ethic she tried to change everything 17 days in.

Please be mindful of the direct leadership in this role. You are micromanaged by someone who doesn't have thourough clinical skills and lacks interpersonal skills. You are made to feel small and unworthy if you are deemed to be a threat for your knowledge and expertise. There are also disorganization issues with administrative staff. 

I enjoyed working with other competent, talented, and caring professionals while at this agency. The managerial staff were very supportive and welcoming. I did not like the building, however, it was old and outdated with mo modern features.  The reserved  parking for managers was a huge plus, and the close proximity to my home was super ideal.

LES has a large number of incredibly down to earth clinicians and staff working for them. Typical day at work is going to be hectic and you might even fall a little behind. But everyone seems to be in it together. Hardest part of the job? Staying on top of your case load, seeing people in the community while having a life of your own. The best part is definitely the people I work with!

Visits to clients homes to provide therapy as scheduled. A worthy and fulfilling cause. A passion driven career to improve the lives of the future generation of leaders with great potentials however with a little distraction. Hardest part of my job is the inability of the parents sometimes to make the youth available for a scheduled session.

Typical workday - foolishness
What I learned - Vet companies better
Management - FOOLISHNESS
Workplace culture - More Foolishness
Hardest Part of Job - Getting through all the foolishness
Most enjoyable part of job - GOING HOME
