Pros

They pay for your background testing and fingerprinting

Cons

My Headline is a nice warning. In the 5 days I was employed for this agency my title was change 3 times and I never rec'd a job description. Yet, on the 5th day, I was told I was not capable of performing the job I was hired for, although my interview was one hour over the phone and 5.5 hours in person. In addition, I was told that I must have fabricated my resume and that I really didn’t work for the companies listed on my resume, I was abusively told that I did not have the qualifications that I needed to maintain the role I was hired for. Here Ms. Young, a.k.a. Marguerite, Ms. Duncan, Mrs. Marguerite Duncan-Young and a few other titles depending which state she was in, initiated and continued to insult my qualifications and role for Firman Community Services. Finally, I asked for a final letter of discharge and was denied this. I think Marguerite came out of the cage this morning via phone because she decided to play with hiring a new set of employees and when she woke up today after the previous day’s payroll, she is deciding on backing out on her business plan. I would have adored advocating for the clients of this agency. But as a warning steer clear of this agency and their programs as a whole. Overall, the way she treats her employees trickles down to how they treat their clients: Inappropriate, Abusive and Any Kind of Way. When, in social services it’s supposed to be Appropriate, Uplifting, Respectful and Encouraging. Potential Clients and Employees Steer Clear. Best wishes in what you the reader are looking for. Finally, if you see a good review for this agency they are fabricated by the CEO or her assistant, no one else, factual because this was a topic discussed in my short tenure.

Pros

My co-workers were wonderful people, and I enjoyed having their support.

Cons

I was warned my first day by a co-worker that I should not have accepted a job here. On the company website, nowhere does it say where this organization receives its funding from (we were told by our supervisors and the CEO that the state of Illinois provides Firman with funding). No list of a board of directors anywhere. The website is kind of a joke. I just don't understand. It is a completely chaotic and unorganized place. Printers and fax machines are always broken, and employees are not allowed to have their own telephones and computers, which makes doing work difficult. Gas mileage reimbursement and pay checks never arrived on time. We would sometimes have to wait until 8pm on Friday to receive them. The worst part were the supervisors and the CEO. They are very unprofessional and inappropriate and treat their employees with no respect. The dress code was extremely harsh and we had to call everyone (including coworkers) by Ms. or Mr. It was a very strange and horrible experience to work at this place, and everyone told me they were proud that I quit, after getting verbally assaulted by the CEO for no reason, in front of the entire company. It really was frightening.
