Great so far - Anonymous employee Explore Horizons Employee Review

This was my first job after graduating and it was a great one. The mentorship and training was top notch.

The only con was working some weekends but even that wasn’t too bad because the hours were easy.

The people are, far and away, the reason this organization has and will continue to find success. The head office team are some of the most genuine professionals you'll ever meet, who are dead set on giving you everything you need to succeed from your first day onward. There is a lot of professional development opportunities, and plenty of great ways to get involved beyond your day-to-day duties. Further, for an entry level post-undergraduate job, you will be given massive amounts of responsibility, allowing your successes to feel grand, but giving you personal responsibility when initiatives might not go so well. Through this, you will learn and grow into a more capable education professional.

The work-life balance is something they are aware of being a shortfall, but is still rather nonexistent. You spend 45 hours a week, if not up to 50, in the center, with irregular work schedules that often seem to exacerbate the imbalance. Day-to-day operations are a handful and often make extracurricular projects fall to the wayside, which can and often does create stressful situations where the work seems to pile endlessly.
