Pros

Senior employment is encouraged, as well as pursuing a higher education. This makes an older worker feel valued after initial retirement.

Cons

Low wages. Sometimes you work more hours than you are being reimbursed for, or you might be asked to do something you are not qualified to do. This would be something a nurse's aide or a nurse is trained to do.

Pros

The training is great. I felt that I was helping people while working, that there was a real purpose and reason for working for the county. Great pay system and very friendly to report.

Cons

My department needed better communication to make everyone's jobs less confusing. The morale seemed low and people seemed very concerned about their jobs. The people did not need as tight of supervision as they were given. More trust for the employees to do their job.

Pros

It provides a good jumping off point for working in the nonprofit sector (speaking specifically of my AmeriCorps work with them). I appreciated the ability to network with other AmeriCorps at monthly meetings. This provided me with new ideas and resources to take back to the organization I was working with in order to better serve its target population.

Cons

My experience with Salt Lake County was one of condescension toward employees, unprofessional emails, and overall distrust of the basic competency of AmeriCorps volunteers to complete the basic tasks needed to liaise between the organizations they were volunteering at and Salt Lake County, the organization that was actually paying them their stipend. Pay was low, but I believe that is the case with all AmeriCorps positions
