March of Dimes Employer Reviews

i have learned respect client privacy, prompt indepenance. typical day- i worked midnights check on clients, reposition, answer the on call phone. management was alright, coworkers loved all my co workers. hardest part- working midnights alone,struggled with some of the heavier patients. most enjoyable is just the reward feeling at the end of the day – more... when you know you are helping people and cheering people up and being positive – less

Non Profit Organization helping people disabilities become job ready and secure competitive employment.

great staff and consumers, very poor managment from the top down.
did not like male staff, 6 males fired within a 3 year period.Ratio too high for a predominated female company. Needs to be investigated.
say they are a non-profit company but managment would brag about making millions of dollars for the year?

I really loved my job until a year ago when management changed on both a regional and local level. I learned so much, and thought I would always work at MOD. Unfortunately, new co-workers changed the entire atmosphere for the worse and upper management did nothing to investigate to improve the situation. The hardest part of my job had little to do with – more... my daily tasks but everything to do with dealing with co-workers. I am sure some chapters/locations have a great working environment but not my chapter. I enjoyed the work that I did so it was unfortunate the new co-workers ruined my experience completely. – less

March of Dimes was an inspiring place to work. Coming to work every day with a mission of "Saving Babies" was engergizing

I learned how to ask for help when needed. Coworkers were always ready to lend a hand when needed.
Director was friendly and created a family feel for the employees in the office.
ALways open to new ideas.

I really enjoyed working for this non profit. The events we organized were fun and creative, the office scheduling is family friendly, and the company offers room to grow/re-locate.

Challenging position which I feel made a difference. I was management level within the IL state helping create new business practices. I raised in excess of $300,000 each year by myself.

I compliled and checked work amount for temps and myself for inputing event data. I prepared reports.

I learned about QuickBooks and how to print financial reports.

I worked under the IT director in scheduling when to break down event tasks for completion.

The hardest part I can think of were the few times when working under a deadline but those – more... were known coming up and not that bad.

Seeing the complete process of event planning throughout the year was enjoyable and having the smaller segments of it broken down through the year with each completion. – less

I was the area director and I worked out of my home. I was the only employee in the county, March of Dimes is volunteer based. My job was to work with businesses to either commit to sponsor with funds or to encourage their emloyees to join together to form a team to concentrate on the mission of March of Dimes. A huge part of the job was to education – more... the community on the mission and the programs offered to the community. We could not do this without obtaining new volunteers and retaining the ones we had. March of Dimes had its annual Walk America but we also had many other events to try to generate funds for more programs and research. – less

I got to meet many wonderful people while getting them involved with a wonderful event.

Fun and Productive, Teambuilding, Nice environment. I learned a lot at this company. Full cycle Accounting, processing invoices, filing

Small agency with employees that are not very active in anything outside of their job description.

My typical day at work was to take inventory, put information on excel. I honestly did not learn anything. All of my co-workers were very friendly and made me feel like I had been working there for years. The hardest part of the job, to be honest, was looking for something to do. They never had enough work for me to do, sometimes even nothing. The most – more... enjoyable part of the job was taking part in putting the walk together in April. – less

It was a volunteer service with many great events. I helped sent up tents for events, placed tables and seats as well as helped prepare basic food such as burgers and hotdogs.

Drafted pitch letters that incorporated brief descriptions and sending clear requests to reporters to write about numerous topics, publish photos and attended events.

Collaborated with Media Relations Team on various projects including Prematurity Awareness Month, and World Prematurity Day
Assist team to compile press kits for different events, and – more... worked with team to ensure event efficiency.

Performed clerical work including organizing and filing of confidential paperwork, research and presentations.

Utilized Vocuspr, online Marketing and PR Software, to obtain research and data. – less

Walk reps were low on the totum pole but it was still a great place to work

The March of Dimes has an excellent mission. The company is very diverse in employment and has an excellent training program. The annual conferences are very well planned and well organized and very informative with a good deal of fun thrown in. The salaries are average and above with very good benefits.

I was simply a volunteer for this oragnization and received great pride out of doing the work.

Very enjoyable place to work you are treated like family, and you are treated like family
