This place would be a great place if staff listened to the students and one another. It is currently being led my the most obnoxious, arrogant, self-centered staff I have ever worked for. They undermine the staff in all areas of authority when publicly admonishing staff in front of the students. They have staff who are sleeping with other staff and students, clearly violating their own fraternization policy while being whole aware that this behavior is ongoing. HR & CD employs whole families that are working under their own family member s as their direct report. There aren t enough staff to teach the trades & its certifications. So, CDSS is lying and saying that it is not unethical or against MI DOE policy and that the center is not subject to MI DOE policy when approaching uncertified staff to teach trade certs. The former office administration instructor was told that they needed to be certified to teach OA
trade after 1.2 yrs of teaching the trade and then was told that she had to pay for the certifications themselves. They quit on the spot. I left the program because they came to me last month (October) trying to first lie to me then try to bully me into teaching the certifications after I my reluctance to do it. They are not letting go students when they have zero tolerance behaviors or are not progressing academically. There was a fight on the second floor that when staff called SPBO for assistance, they were told that they were in a meeting so staff had to ask a counselor to go get security just to help diffuse the fight. They are making all staff on center, including janitors find students jobs so that when students get survey calls after exiting program they can get their numbers met but they are not giving incentives to the staff for doing so unless the whole center meets its numbers. Keep in mind that the CTR (Outreach/Admissions - unaffiliated to center) gets an immediate $100 cash bonus when this placement takes place. Yet, they re not even the ones that placed the student. CNA trade hasn t been staffed since they took the contract over so they outsourced with Ross Medical that isn t even accredited to even get a job for the student in the field of study. One female student graduated from Ross and JC to go onto to work at Mercy Health as a Environmental Service Technician not as a CNA. They changed the whole salary/wage system to reflect over 88% of the staff as exempt employees so that they don t have to pay you overtime. The CD called a whole center meeting to check people about talking behind their back. The CD and its management team are all bullies, especially the CDSS who is its flunky and can t stand their own boss and talks horribly about them behind their back yet has become just like them. This center is led on personality and NOT character leadership. Staff need to take a look at their own personal ethics before attempting to demand students change theirs. This center has a history of male staff making inappropriate comments, gestures, and actually sleeping with the female and male students. One male staff who is still working there impregnated a female student and it went out over Facebook and the center knew it. Students are being bullied and the bullies are allowed to remain on center. One sub teacher makes racial disparities against other students who do not share their personal ethnicity or race. This center needs to be audited and investigated. They are driving students around in a van with a busted window which has to be a clear violation of safety policy. Students bring weed and other contraband items on center. Students can go to restaurants off-center and bring back liquids without them even being checked for added alcohol. Plus, the center is a supposed to have been a closed center, ordered by DOL, after a Florida JC student was killed by peers and this center stopped abiding by the policy without getting permission from the region authorities or DOL before doing so. I could go on but there is a character limit on reviews but I m sure you understand where I m going.
