Pros

I had a good run. Helped a lot of people. Ignored the nonsense going on at headquarters. A lot of touching stories about people who came to Experience Works for help. I use to feel good about my job.

Cons

Even with all the good that was done, it's impossible to overlook the bad. Taking from the government. Hiding and covering up things for your friends. Hanging others out to dry. Not telling the people who come to work for you each day what's going on. And nothing really has changes with the "new" CEO. One only has to wonder what kind of sweet golden parachute deal she set up for herself. All kinds of rumors.

Pros

The SCSEP was created to help older workers to develop Job skills. Older workers love the program for the most part.

Cons

Upper Management is not transparent. They will hire new people making upwards of 100k while simultaneously laying off and furlough seasoned staff. DOL need to cut all of the benefits to Experience Works to give the money to a real program with proven results like AARP. The era of 2014 and 2015 was the only time EW was performing 6 of 6 performance measures while being ran by the 'corrupt leadership' The new CEO and Chairman of the board came into EW last July with OIG and members of DOL thinking it was a large scale embezzlement operation going on within the realms of upper management when in fact it was just a lot of misguided over spending on the participant portion of the program. That in turn made the finance department have to work long hard hours while being unappreciated and yelled at. Because of the actions of the new CEO and chairman of the board EW budget was slashed dramatically as it should have been since they clearly can not run a high performing organization. Do not work for this organization if you want a long standing, quality position.
