As Expected

Pros

You can pick your health insurance, so you’re not confined to Kaiser. You have decent benefits. Paid Holidays.

Cons

Specifically for the department of child welfare: very stressful environment, high workload/expectations, very bureaucratic (which is to be expected). You’re required to work after-hours shifts throughout the year.

Pros

Almost impossible to get fired. All they want is a body in a seat. Great for “bottom of the barrel” types.

Cons

Zero room for growth. Managers would rather blindly follow poorly designed policies than use common sense. Neither quality nor quantity is valued. Managers cannot effectively lead teams as none of them know how to do the work of the line staff. DEI hiring practices significantly outweigh tangible qualifications. Most departments are extremely top-heavy, full of “do nothings” who demoralize their teams.
