Hard Working and Passionate Staff - Case Manager Caminar Employee Review

I love my colleagues, respectful work environment, flexible office/remote working. I feel lucky to work with my team. Great bosses, great CEO. Caminar's mission and the people they help are inspiring.

Nonprofit work can be challenging when government and foundation grant support shifts. The stress associated with funding is real. But, that is true for every nonprofit.

I worked for Caminar's now closed Redwood House. It was an incredible experience and I learned a lot there. The program director and assistant program director were fantastic leaders and created space for learning experiences and could prove their skill through practical engagement with the clients. Training opportunities were usually well thought out and useful.

Corporate's terrible handling of the closure of numerous acute facilities that they owned. Slow and confused explanations for what needed to be done as part of the closure, resulting in the rushed discharge of clients falling onto our overworked, burnt out staff. Abysmal HR department with one of the slowest hiring rate and potential employee retention I have ever seen. Low staffing meant constant overtime and back to back graveyard shifts. Sluggish to keep wages competitive and within the needs of QoL. An increasingly detached senior management.
