Pros

* Good support, whenever you had questions, there would be someone to help answer * Camaraderie, this job can be stressful, so in the bit of downtime we might find ourselves in, we’re able to vent (while still following HIPPA guidelines) * Supervisor was helpful and provided moral support, accommodating anything for me as much as possible

Cons

* Sink or Swim; while people are around to ask questions, you’re thrown into a heavy caseload rather quickly * Low pay; for the stress and caseload required, the pay is not even enough to survive on alone. * Ridiculous Contractual obligations; not the fault of the company, but the government risking cutting the program for things we can’t control * Understaffed

Pros

The mission of the organization is meaningful, and hiring managers genuinely value quality candidates and strong placements. The work can be rewarding when the focus is on making thoughtful hires that truly support vulnerable individuals. Team members care deeply about doing the right thing and producing strong, long-term results.

Cons

Under new management, recruiting has shifted to a numbers-driven model where metrics far outweigh quality, outcomes, and human impact. Recruiters are now responsible for interviewing and decision-making while simultaneously being held to significantly higher, rigid goals that do not account for location based candidate flow or program differences. Time is spent submitting phone screens and documenting nonviable candidates purely to satisfy metrics instead of actively sourcing strong applicants. Being discouraged from cherry-picking candidates, despite hiring for roles supporting vulnerable populations is concerning and demoralizing. This approach reduces efficiency, negatively impacts candidate experience, and has contributed to burnout and low morale. The system feels misaligned with the mission and set up for failure.
