Non-profit run like a corporation - Patron Services Manager Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center Employee Review

Very flexible with working with my schedule Great environment Fun colleagues, perks like free tickets to Theater J shows and access to their fitness center Super LGBTQ+ friendly!

Slightly lower pay than other comparable programs

Jewish community and Jewish events (Shabbat, Passover, Purim etc)

-no training at all, you just are stuck in a room with the kids with no idea what's going on -child safety was neglected by both employees and management -2/3rds of coworkers do not follow requirements, leaving the remaining 1/3rd with a higher workload -people are ALWAYS on their phones, sometimes they don't even look up at the kids -Management does nothing to stop poor behaviors from employees. Blames good workers for other's poor behavior ("You take too much charge in the classroom and so they don't have anything to do that's why they're on their phone's so much. You need to take a step back and facilitate a more collaborative environment and maybe they won't be on their phones so much"- quote from management) -Dangerous behaviors from kids aren't addressed and are left to be dealt with by (undertrained) staff members). Parents are often not told of incidents. No consequences for kids throwing chairs, hitting, kicking, screaming etc.
