Mostly Awesome Place to Work

Pros

The people, the mission of the organization, the benefits package for employees. The agency really invested in training me well upon hire. There is a very professional yet friendly attitude coming down from just about every level of management, and my supervisors are excellent. I get to work with people in my community who are in need in a unique way. The culture and values of this agency are probably the best practiced (and not just said in your orientation) of any company I've worked for before.

Cons

I love absolutely every aspect of this job except... trying to make ends meet as a single individual on this salary. I am a master's level clinician and I am being paid VERY poorly compared to other jobs in the field and even in this region.

Pros

The people in my program were awesome. I miss working wih them. They were passionate about what they do. Plus, my supervisors were very easy going and I looked forward to seeing them at weekly meetings.

Cons

I worked as a front desk floater for several months. I went to several offices and no one who worked in administration work would interact with me. On top of that, the clinicians treated me pretty horribly. One I moved to a clinical roll, admin people were kind to me. I worked in a community based program, which can be pretty dangerous, and was paid pennies. The higher ups care more about numbers than the people who work for them or the clients. While I was there I was not able to put my kids on medical because it would be about a third of my monthly income. For an organization that says "life works when you get the support you need" they don't seem to care about supporting their people.

Come see the violence inherent in the system

Pros

LifeWorks has many programs for many under-served populations in the greater Portland Metro area

Cons

Regularly understaffed, the pay is low, morale is always low and we are continually being told to do more. Productivity expectations are a joke. PTO policies are backwards and raises are non-existent.
