Pros

They give 4 weeks of PTO a year.

Cons

Management is inexperienced, unsupportive, and not transparent in their decision-making. The corporation is unwilling to listen to critiques of sexism or racism. They use a mandatory white savior curriculum to train their employees on how to interact with the public. Anytime I’ve tried to advocate for students or my coworkers, I’ve been met with intense resistance and punishment. Overall, I’ve found this workplace to be emotionally draining, and I would not recommend taking TRIO positions within FSC. If you’re interested in supporting students, do it at a workplace that is willing to hear your point of view.

Forward Service Corporation Response

Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We cannot speak to some of this as we are not privy to details. However, I will add that Forward Service Corporation is dedicated to providing an inclusive, non-judgmental culture for our staff and program participants. Sexist or racist conduct is not tolerated and we continue to provide educational opportunities for staff to learn about not just tolerance, but acceptance. As our Impact Code states - "We will be for everyone." Are we perfect? Of course not, we're human, but we are dedicated to learning and growing; moreover, we operate from the principles of grace and understanding. If you feel that we’re not living up to this, please contact our human resources department.

Really good people with equally good intentions to help those who are in a vulnerable place.

There was a big pressure to get people to be enrolled into the program with no financial bonus incentive.
