I worked for Washington Vocational Services for 10 years! They supported my personal and professional development. I worked my way up from being an employment consultant to a member of the executive team. Programs nurture an innovative person centered approach to serve customers in pursuit of their vocational goals.

I've worked for WVS for over 3 years now and absolutely love the company culture. This is by far the best company I've worked for. They are family orientated, provide flexible working hours, and each employment consultant goes above and beyond to serve our clients! Go TEAM.

I am currently having the worst experience with this vendor. They have poor communication skills and I can see there is turn over within this vendor. How can they help people get jobs if they can't keep and train their own employees. Stay away from them.
