Employees Speak Out
... about working at Metropolitan Family Services

"I stay because of the professionalism of the agency. We encourage and demand high standards from employees. We treat clients with respect and try to work with what is in their self-interest. We encourage innovation in programs and in what we offer people. We're open to new ideas in order to better serve the clients. We push collaboration with other agencies and don't see ourselves as the end-all. We do work with the community to get the best for our clients' interest."

"Working at Metropolitan Family Services continues to be very rewarding and fulfilling for me professionally and personally. To work with such dedicated staff is inspiring and motivating. Returning to Metropolitan Family Services after four years felt so right, it was like coming home."

"As an employee for 27 years, pride is what stands out the most about my work here. I have always felt a sense of privilege to be able to work for an organization that is viewed as a leader in the field. This pride is seated in the fact that the organization has a strong commitment to quality services to clients and the communities they live in. Because of this commitment I have been able to participate in the provision of services that make a real difference in the lives of the families and communities we serve. In addition, a high value is placed on staff development and training. The opportunities I've been given here have allowed me to move through a support level position to my current position as Executive Director of the Calumet Center. It has been a rewarding venture."

"I like working for Metropolitan Family Services because of its nurturing environment. Agency staff displays, in many ways, how important you, and your family's well- being are to them. I recently experienced a family crisis, and my fellow staff members gave me their understanding and moral support. My supervisor recommended and approved a flexible schedule, which helped reduce my levels of stress and anxiety during a very difficult time."

"I enjoy working for Metropolitan Family Services not only because I value the work that the agency does, but also because I work with a wonderful group of people."
