Burnt out

Pros

Flexible schedule, pay check was on time. Some decent trainings and CEUs provided. Some coworkers were great and made lifelong friends.

Cons

Industry and national pay is below average, new graduates in my job where making more than me. Worried coworkers would comment that I was doing the job of 2-3 people yet nothing was done about it...causing me to be burned out and being pulled in all directions with the growth of the program. They'll just keep adding work...and if you speak up you'll be accused of "not doing whatever it takes." You'll be micromanaged yet management doesn't know what's going on. There was no room to grow within the company, you'll be stuck in your entry level position doing the work made for multiple people and other programs will take advantage of your hardwork and try to get you to do work for them. Abuse from families and clients is tolerated. No clear discussion or explanation of what my role was...seemed like supervisor wanted me to be everything from administrative assistant, a free therapist for clients to call all the way to a service coordinator.

Meaningful Work, Supportive Environment

Pros

All staff receive a great deal of support and training. The executive leadership staff have all been with the company for many years and truly care about the work we are doing. Everyone I work with is friendly and caring. Most importantly, the work is flexible. As an admin staff, I can work mostly from home and have the flexibility to take care of personal matters and make up the time.

Cons

We are in need of more staff on my team. Other than that, there aren't many cons.

Artificial family feel

Pros

There is the flexibility to set your own hours, they do mileage reimbursement, the positive peer support is wonderful, training opportunities

Cons

I was management, I know the inside workings and as much as their tagline supports children and families, it's all about bringing in income and financials. I understand it's a business, I do, but they often overlook treatment in lieu of receiving insurance funding. I'm sure I will get a response saying it isn't true, but I witnessed first hand, placements that shouldn't have occurred but were high value for PR therefore they did. They "correct dated" forms (back dated) even in the day and age of electronic files to get paid.

Pros

Work can be very rewarding. Hours are extremely flexible in the sense that you make your own schedule. coworkers are great to work with. This is a great place to gain experience for a future career elsewhere.

Cons

Supervision is lacking in the sense that you are more updating your supervisor on your case load rather then getting any real substance from the meeting. Where a supervisor may have dropped the ball on a responsibility the blame is often pushed onto those below them. Communication from upper management and supervisors to the worker bees is extremely lacking. There is no job training. You are thrown into the job with a manual and often asked to refer to your manual or ask colleges when needing assistance . This could be due to a lack of training of supervisors as well. Support from supervisors and upper management is lacking. No training on how to use car seats or proper baby/child transportation. Many individuals have never held a child prior to this job far yet installed a car seat.

Stay away

Pros

I was a recent college grad and this place hired me, but gave me absolutely no training, just threw me into the position. When I didn't know what to do, managers would berate me in front of other employees, so unprofessional. When they terminated me, the HR lady kept the door open and other employees came in and out of the office, how humiliating. This organization is in business to counsel and help others, but they treat their own employees like garbage. Being fired left me upset and really hit my self esteem, but then I realized they did me a favor by my being able to get away from this toxic workplace. These are the PROs of working here, because the Cons are much worse.

Cons

Don't work here, even if you are desperate
