They work if they are personal and do what a normal rec letter should do–show your work ethic, personality, etc. They are worthless if they are like “Bobby is a great kid. Yours Truly, George Bush”. If they get close to the level of personal-ness that a teacher rec would get, they are very good, because they are automatically more credible than a random teacher’s.
