Thank you for your review. While KVC’s compensation is on par with other similar nonprofits, it’s true that funding and compensation are limited in the child welfare field. Thank you for calling out our awesome benefits, senior leadership, positive culture and even the occasional free food! Best wishes.

Pros

Helping families get back together, flexibility, dress for your day, and benefits- 403(b), dental, medical, life insurance, paid time off. Supervisors are helpful.

Cons

The training was not the best. Trainings consisted of shadowing and looking at power points. Feels like I was just thrown in without being ready. Had to learn along the way. Working long, late hours. Working with parents that won’t do what it takes to get children back. Driving long hours and distances. Working with difficult children. Not enough worker and child interaction. Each month you have to work a 24/7 on-call shift.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on working at KVC. It’s true that the nature of child welfare work can be challenging as we are working with families in crisis. And in crisis, behavior can be difficult and cooperation lacking. Such frustrations are to be expected. Adequate training should also be expected and KVC recognizes that, while on the whole our employees are very well trained, there are specific areas of this large organization where improvements can be made. To that end, HR is working on a strategic plan to increase consistency and quality in training practices across all departments so that every KVC employee feels fully prepared for the important work that we do.

Thank you for your observations. KVC values you and the challenging, but important, work that you do. We recognize that consistent, supportive and knowledgeable supervision is a must to ensure that every KVC employee delivers the most effective care to the people we serve (over 60,000 in just the past year alone). We are pleased to report that HR is currently partnering with proven leaders in management training best practices to create a new and thorough training program for all KVC supervisors. This program should provide far greater consistency throughout the organization with regard to management practices.
