Pros

Interacting with families, trying to make a difference in someone’s life.

Cons

If you have a family, this job is not for you. There is training but the training does not train you to do your job. The paperwork is impossible to complete in a 40 hour week. No support from upper management. There’s a high turnover because of the stress and lack of organization of this agency. Case managers are not fully trained with the resources needed to do the job. There’s a constant feeling of chaos on this position. New case managers have it the worst when trying to navigate the duties of the position. There’s no guidance and no balance of case load. Some case managers have high case loads in the 40’s or 50’s. On call is not presented accurately, and you become a taxi and adult babysitter one week out the month on top of still dealing with your caseload. Unrealistic expectations and lack of support from upper management. People usually work this position until they have a mental breakdown and walk out.

Pros

I've learned a lot and enjoy being able to attend court hearings and assist the parents through the dependency system.

Cons

Replace all upper management, not nice people and hostile work environment. Too many supervised visits, you basically become a glorified taxi and adult babysitter. Work/life balance is way off. No time to complete paperwork resulting in you looking insufficient in court. Too much stress and very little support. Drive your car into the ground because children are placed across 4 counties. No financial assistance when car has issues. EAP is a joke. People walk out and quit regularly, as their complaints are not being heard or recognized. Not transparent with parents regarding their case and they are discussed harshly in the office. There is no true help to support parents as the courts place unrealistic expectations for case plan tasks. Guardian ad Litem program is biased and picks sides regarding the parents, and are also no help or support for case management, which is part of their job. The paperwork and documentation are a nightmare when you actually have time in the office between visitations. Eckerd throws more requirements with a short deadline that requires you to see all your families for signatures. Trainings and meetings thrown on your schedule without consideration and short notice. On call is a nightmare. Stuck sitting in the office with children. Begging for overtime hours you deserve. Working off the clock because the job is impossible to complete in 40 hours. No real support.

Pros

If you like help people it is a good place to work. Some nice co-workers. Paid holidays and decent PTO's.

Cons

Worst ever seen management in the employment program! A lot of "supervisors" earning high salaries and doing nothing to grow up the program, they only play to "witch hunting". Administrators with more than 70 years old earning high salaries and dulling the work and creating gossip of the employees. Professionalism is a word that the don't know! Corruption, fraud and mediocrity is something that characterizes that department. You can get fired if you are not "friend" of the boss ussing arguments that are lies like supposed frauds when they are the only ones who do it and saying "good bless you" Hypocrites!!! Very low salaries and a lot of unnecessary paperwork due the mediocrity and bad management! They are people who are supposed to give love and help others but do not care about their staff and that makes them doubt the real meaning of this organization. Nepotism and Hypocrisy, that is it...
