When senior leaders focus on making training work-and get personally involved-improvement can come rapidly. Given how important skilled workers are, companies must do better at creating them. They keep at it because a highly skilled workforce is clearly more productive and because employees often need new skills to deal with changes in an organization’s strategy or performance. See “ Building organizational capabilities: McKinsey Global Survey results,”, March 2010. Indeed, only one-quarter of the respondents to a recent McKinsey survey said their training programs measurably improved business performance, and most companies don’t even bother to track the returns they get on their investments in training. There are some straightforward steps they can take to do better. The program that you are recruiting for is a great program and this company is destroying the opportunity to do the job.Few companies see sustained benefits from training employees. But, management makes what should be a fun rewarding job into a heck hole of a place to work. I am not a fired employee and I am not disgruntled. They don't say these things but they do insinuate it. One day they encourage taking your lunch breaks and then when you do they get upset and want you to eat lunch in the office. Management makes it so that it is sneaky and backstabbing.
And don't forget about how they do not want the admissions counselors getting along. If you love micro management, being belittled, and no support from corporate office this is the job for you. The possibility of making good money is definitely there but, you will have to get management to allow you to do the job they hired you to do. It all depends on there emotional state and what DOL has said to them that day. They expect you to sit in your office and make connections with schools, shelters, and prospects via email and phone calls. They say you will travel 3 out of 5 days but this is not the case. You are helping young adults get into a program that is going to help them to be successful which is great. When you get hired they seem like an awesome company. Your health and mental stability is worth so much more then a paycheck from these people. Please don’t accept this job just because you need money. I barely got a lunch break, and when I did, you still end up doing some type of work during that lunch break because nobody will leave you alone unless you actually leave. They do some backwards stuff just to get by with the department of labor. I never received an employee handbook or any type of official training the entire time I worked there. They are the most unorganized and unprofessional company I have ever encountered. They will tell you travel is only 25%, LIES. If you’re applying for an admissions counselor, be prepared to work crazy hours and travel A LOT. Those kids are all numbers in corporates eyes. They boost it all up like it’s all about the kids and getting the kids into the job corps program to help them, but no. To start, this place is NOTHING like they make it seem.
