Sunrise Childrens Foundation

This company mission is wonderful. The ability to help out families who are in need with any resource is such a blessing. Educating our families about their children milestone was another wonderful topic i loved. 
Not to mention, my workers made the work place much more fun and smooth. 
Please if you are not an initiative person and self learner, DO NOT apply. 
The management at Sunrise is horrible. They will make everyone feel belittle, dumb, uneducated, and less than them. They play favorites and if you talk back or correct them for their mistake, you will get on their bad side. If there was an option to give management no stars I would. This company is disorganized and will have you going home every night stress with unprepared deadlines. 
The hardest part of this job was that there was no communication among management, supervisors and the rest of the staff. Which made the work environment hard. Most enjoyable was visiting families and seeing children come ready to the center to learn. 

It is sad to see a wonderful company with an Excellent mission lose their most valuable thing and that is the "Caring of the Families".

Your satisfaction with this company is dependent on many factors. I loved it when I first started and was learning how to do my role. When you do good work, management seems to think that giving you more projects is good. It just gives  you more work to do while your pay remains the same. Raises are based on living adjustment not good work unless you get promoted. Lots and lots of projects. You get further away from your job description and less about directly helping the families and more about the indirect work like projects.

Management and higher-ups are very out of touch with the rest of the company. There's no consistency or basis in messaging. You are expected to do even more work due to the high turnover. 

On a positive note the job offers amazing benefits. Work/life balance is fine if your manager respects your time. The pay with the overwork and management is what forces people to leave sadly. 

Loved working with families and building a connection with the children. Each family was unique, so it was necessary to address each, in an individual manner to better suit them and their needs. 

Management very intimidated if you come in knowing more or seem to know more than them. Was pushed to unbelievable limits and given unrealistic timelines to get things done. Constantly changing policy to suit them. Overworked worked and under paid. 
Tough skin is needed to work here. If you don't have it, or the heart for the job, don't apply. You're only hurting yourself and the families who need us.

I currently am still a employee for Sunrise until I can find something else and YES I am currently actively looking. Place is a joke. They care more about the grant money then they do the work ethics of their staff. Pay is very low, funds are used everywhere but where they should be but I guess that's why the company got sued. Do your research on the company before you send in your resume. They seem nice but once your hired they treat you poorly and talk down to you. Supervisors talk to their staff like garbage, act like they are better then them. Nobody to talk to about your concerns and they will constantly throw in your face that Nevada is a AT WILL state to work and you can be fired for anything. RUN, RUN.....before your reputation gets ruined by their chaos and drama.

The company’s mission is all about helping the at-risk population in Las Vegas, and most of us are really dedicated to that goal.  My job keeps things interesting because each day is different, and I get to use a variety of my skills. But, a big challenge is how department heads communicate with each other, which impacts how info gets shared with the rest of us. Plus, there seems to be some favoritism among management, and with being short-staffed, the rest of us are picking up the slack and working harder.

Working at sunrise WIC has been a wonderful experience. I actually enjoy coming into work everyday. I feel I am valued and seen as an employee. The training was great and I feel confident when I ask for help. You learn something new everyday. And I love the fact that I have a career now. And not just a job. I love that I am able to ask for for help with confidence and know I will get help to find answers to anything. I appreciate how much they make an effort to see how are doing. Management is fantastic and cannot say enough good.  There are fun activities for employees monthly and yearly employee appreciation days. 10/10 recommend for working here. 

The program I worked for and the people in my program were all wonderful people, which was the only great part of this job.
The pay was horrible, $10 but gained great experience. Our computers were completely outdated and very slow. 
There was another program that had all brand new computers and desks, the their employees were paid much more and the director for that program, whom also oversaw my program was a micromanaging jerk. She had preferences between employees and allowed some of those employees to bully other employees. 
I would not recommend this place for employment at all.

A typical day is was to do my home visit providing educational lesson plans according of their needs and development.
I have learned to understand diversity cultures with the families, collegues and managers to work together to accomplish children's and families needs.
The hardest part of the job was to see poverty with most of the families.
The most enjoyable was to see how parents with passion were helping thier children's development at early age.

work was non stop and highly stressful.
I learned my love for children and the importance of their development.
management was awful did not help with questions or concerns, very rude and hostile.
the hardest part of the job was the lack of communication between staff. 
the most enjoyable part of the job was teaching the children and watching them grow into individuals was incredible!

At first I thought they would be an inclusive place due to their emphasis on diversity, but when it comes to helping those who are disabled they fall behind in addressing it and the way they do it is actually pretty backhanded and seems more like the company trying to cover themselves and see you as a danger to the children.
