Don’t waste your time!!!! Gissel Grimaldi needs to be fired and put on a diet. Not knowledgeable about her job at all had to call the supervisor for simple questions and still not solution

This program is a joke. Detroiters deserve better. If I had no other options, this “service” would have left me homeless. That’s how lax the personnel are and how unhelpful the whole program turned out to be. Thank GOD I didn’t put all my eggs in this basket. There needs to be an inspection of what exactly goes on within Detroit at Work because this experience was terrible at best. And I’m being generous.

Employees are not very knowledgeable and will give you the run around THEN say they don’t know. I find it hard to believe NO ONE in the office knows how the programs work, if so they need to clean up house and start over. They’re all (with the exception of a few I’ve met) lazy and useless.

Completely useless.

I'm an employer looking for an office person. Been calling them for more than 2 months. They have not forwarded even one application or resume to me. I have spoken to two different people there.

This used to be a terrific service in 2005 - 2007 ish. Then Detroit brought it in-house,.. and it was worthless. (One agent would only forward people to me that were friends of his just getting out of prison).

Now it is farmed out again,.. but zero progress has been made by this new group in months. I find it hard to believe that there's not one single person looking for an easy desk job with a TV, A?C and a fridge at more than $10 an hour.

Meyers location a big joke! These people are very unprofessional from the director & the manager Taniesha on down! Recently, there was a training program called B SEED, reading the brochure i meet all the requirements. I took the gains test, they sent me to concentra for a drug test (which i passed) then days before the the training they told me i couldnt participate in the training. I was never given a solid reason that i couldnt do the B SEED training. I contacted the director as well as the manager, the manager Taniesha told me she would call B SEED to find out if all the requirements on brochure was correct and i never heard anything back from the manager Taniesha. That was in May, its Sept. Today Sept27 I asked to see her, i was told she would call me with a time to see her. Here you have a person ready and willing to work with no oppurtunity and when it was a oppurtunity knocked all of a sudden it was snatched with no explanation. At this point I feel like a signature with these people. They take people thru too much unnecessarily! In order to get funding for a class ur put thru unnecessary hoops. Put the people to work or training thats wanting and willing to work! Ive personally been working w this particular DESC for almost 2 yrs w no luck?
I have exprience in customer service, direct care & construction and w all the construction going on in Detroit its almost like those type of jobs is or should be a given. I guess racking in on our signatures is way more important than actually employing detroit residents.

I have interacted with DESC for a couple of years now. That is the problem, still nothing. Then I recently completed a program with the assurance of a grant in order to proceed directly to my chosen core training program. Now I'm being told that I have to wait for funding. All of this should have been conveyed at the onset. I find it hard to believe that a grant would be provided only to pay salaries to directors, ceos', facilitators, managers, etc, to train and or perform a service, that leads to nothing for a significant portion of the population. Its foul, and leaves a bad taste in the mouth with we hear another person's story. Investigations, fines, and incarceration are what needed.
