West Virginia Courtesy Patrol ripoff Supervisor a Joke along with the Company!! Beckly West Virginia

First off, it is spelled Beckley, not Beckly.
We live in West Virginia, we should be able to spell the name of our counties.

You went through training and were told that the hours would vary from time to time.
You were told that there were no benefits with this job. You should have known you were not going to advance much within this particular job. You were hired as a driver and most likely, would never get employee benefits while working this job.

The supervisor very well be an incompetent supervisor. If many of you feel this way, then by all means, write up a grievance report and have your co-workers all sign it and send it to her. Maybe she doesn't realize how unprofessional she has been and once she reads it, maybe she will straighten up. If not, there is always the copy that you send to the main office. Maybe they will give her a few pointers on how to be a better supervisor. Or maybe not. Maybe they will fire everyone who signed it. But since there seems to be so many negative things with this job, leaving it shouldn't be so bad, right?

Remember there are no benefits with this job, no sick leave/pay, no vacation pay, no holiday pay...etc. Maybe you could use your experience that you gained from working here and apply for a better job somewhere else?

The trouble with this company is that there are too many inter-personal relationships going on. It's a workplace, not a meeting place. It's a job, not a club. (Ex. She said this. He did this. They're doing this. Etc.) It makes the workplace seem more worse than it is. The employees should realize that all the gossiping and hearsay that routinely goes on is just going to make themselves look bad to the supervisor(s). This is an adult workplace, not a grade school. And stop spreading rumors. Act like an adult, not a child.
"Co-workers" not "Best Buddies."

And whether the WVCP is helping the people on welfare or not remains to be seen, but I believe if a person wants to be off of welfare, they shouldn't depend on a state-run program with limited funding to do that for them.

The West Virginia Courtesy Patrol is a transitional program providing individuals the opportunity to use work experience and education as a stepping stone towards self-sufficiency.

Program Highlights

The WVCP has placed over 1200 former welfare recipients into employment at wages ranging from $5.50 - $15.54 per hour.

79% job retention rate at six-months - one of the highest in the country

The WVCP has helped WV earn over $40 million in matching funds from the United States Department of Labor and in Federal High Performance bonuses for the Department of Health and Human Resources.

Drivers are enrolled into the AmeriCorps Education Awards program and receive educational vouchers worth $4,725.00 to go towards their educational goals.

The WVCP participates in an educational partnership with the West Virginia Department of Education called the Learn and Serve Program. Courtesy Patrol personnel work with students of all ages in various school systems statewide on work ethic; proper training and safety; auto mechanics and maintenance; customer service; computer and telephone etiquette.

Recipient of three state and four national awards in the transportation, education, community service, employer and tourism arena.

Patrolling drivers and central information system play vital role in Homeland Security and Amber Alert initiatives statewide.
