KVC Health Systems reviews

Can be stressful due to the nature of the job and the position

I was constantly overwhelmed with work and given very little training and resources. I requested more training numerous times and was not able to get what I needed. KVC will hire fresh grads with no knowledge of social work and then expect them to learn on the job. As someone who cares about doing quality work, I felt that I was often set up for failure. It frustrated me that many times, I could have and likely would have avoided a mistake had I been given the knowledge I needed up front rather than being confronted after the fact. Learning on the job is a standard practice for entry level positions and it is a great skill to have. However, in my opinion, it is not acceptable to be learning the most important aspects of day-to-day work on the fly when the well-being of children and families is on the line. I cared deeply about my clients and about providing them with the highest quality of care that I could reasonably provide. KVC's lack of training before giving me a caseload led me to be unable to provide care to my clients that met my personal standard.
