workED

This company is favoritism at its finest. You will find yourself working hard to try to move to the "top", only to see friends of the managers being promoted. It does not matter how long you work for them - do not expect to be promoted unless you know one of the managers and are a personal friend of theirs. (people will get promoted within 1 week of working for the company while there have been employees working for the company for over a year and will be looked away). Pay has been late multiple times, missing hours, etc. HR is no help. Training does not prepare you for what's expected at all. Some sites are easier than others.  Managers aren't accommodating if you need to be moved to a different site. They'll fire you unannounced. They even told us as contractors "you may all be terminated at any time without warning". Do not expect job security whatsoever. Lowered our hours and gave us a worse contract the beginning of the school year.  They never tell us when we will start working and it's often delayed. They will overstaff/hire just to fire people for overstaffing. The curriculum isn't great and a lot of the kids find it boring. 

When I first start working here I thought WorkED was a good company, and something new. I thought this was a company that valued their workers I was wrong but they chose favorites at its finest. There are people that have been working there for so long, and they get treated wrong just because the managers choose who they want to choose. I genuinely loved working with the kids that’s the reason why I stayed so long but you will find yourself overworking yourself for people who do not care do not overwork yourself for this company you don’t get benefits, time off, and they often mess up on your pay. this job is only convenient if you are in college, or trying to gain experience working with students. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
the managers want to see you grow and succeed, they also acknowledge your growth. overall it’s an amazing company with a good story behind us. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
sometimes it can become overwhelming managing so many kids with so many different emotions but in the end it’s all worth it when you see them smile. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
enthusiastic, upbeat, professional, respectful 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
check my lesson plan for the day to make sure i have all the correct materials, head to my site and check in with my lead then get my kids once it’s after school.

So, I'm used to working with bosses that see their employees as money making machines with no lives. So, working for WorkED was just mind boggling because of how wonderful the workplace culture is. This company truly cares for their employees. Great pay, awesome management, great support, it is just a truly awesome company to work for. Additionally, if you want to make a positive impact on children, this company is for you because not only do they care about their employees, they also care about the students we work with. I can finally say, I love my job.

Everyday would Start w/ pointless “meetings”. I learned to never trust the manager. Management was super unprofessional. San Diego Manager disclosed information of other workers, had favorites. Manager would switch up constantly. Management would constantly recommend to “yell” at kids to gain control. They love to say they’re supportive, but their actions don’t match their words. They will literally fire you for getting sick and say you’re being inconsistent. They say they care about inconsistency when they’re constantly moving people around and the manager is constantly late. 

WorkED is very welcoming at first but overtime you begin to see how unprofessional the management team is. Majority of the management team were extremely rude and they implemented a dress code only for it to not be followed by certain managers. You are basically teaching yourself the material that is being given. They waste a lot of money on things that aren’t being used in the company, that would be best used somewhere else. 

Work ED is one of the few companies that makes you feel like you BELONG! I often read horror stories of employees from other companies that feel uncared for by their management or lack of benefits and humanity. I can gladly say that Work ED puts humanity first and everything else second. I’m so happy to be part of this culture! 

WorkED has allowed me to combine my passion for teaching with my natural tendency to build community in order to build and promote programs that matter to me. The open and collaborative culture makes me feel heard by the highest levels of management and I really feel like my voice matters. Not only that, the road to future opportunities within the company is clearly paved.

The coach is really bad and your hires for caseload as a social work of 30s, and you end up with the 90s

Over experience, nobody wants to work for them because the social workers just leave before they even start the culture is bad they don’t pay your bonus

The co workers we worked with were all lovely however, the management is very aggressive and can make things weird. They fired everyone with little notice and left everyone unemployed. Only reason it isn’t a 1 star is because the pay was ok.
