Pros
Benefits, great co workers, working with children and families.
Cons
After less than two weeks on the job I knew I made a terrible mistake and I immediately started looking for another job. More than half the staff on my team left and were replaced with new employees. It's very rare that I left work at the end of the day by 5pm. The responsibilities and demands placed on case managers are unrealistic and unobtainable. Your not only the case manager, your the support worker, transporter, scheduler, advocate, and service coordinator. If working as a case manager please know you will either do your job great and have no personal life or have a personal life and not do well at this job. Supervision is inconsistent, and not supportive. Training is a joke, your given a caseload before your properly trained. Unfortunately in the long run the ones that suffer the most are the children.
