“I chose to work at JFS because I wanted to return to a Jewish communal career with a position that would allow me to help older adults continue to live at home. JFS has a respected reputation in both the Jewish and wide-ranging Detroit community. I love working here because JFS’s goal is based on Jewish values and we are able to provide support and compassion to various communities. People should consider working at JFS because it is a “family” regardless of your title and job status. JFS cares for its employees with the same empathy and respect it gives clients.”
“I have worked at JFS for 17 years, and I love it for its amazing work environment and diverse staff — not everyone who works here is Jewish. I feel valued and have been given opportunities to grow in my career. I would recommend anyone consider working here because you’re not just a team member — you are family.”
“JFS takes a proactive approach to employee well-being, which creates a positive workplace environment. The culture here is collaborative, connected and motivating, and I take advantage of the ongoing offerings for employee trainings and professional development. I’ve been here since 2015 and have always felt valued as an employee and that the work I am doing for the community is truly making a difference.”
“The people who work at JFS go above and beyond on a regular basis because they want to help make someone’s day better, in one aspect or another. I work directly with our donors, and it is their generosity that helps move our mission forward. The fact that they choose us, and that each donation is so meaningful, makes me proud to work for JFS. I love working with the people on my team, and I feel respected, supported and cared for, not just by those in my department, but by the whole agency.”
