A Great Place to Build a Career

Pros

One Hope United is committed to promoting from within. The agency has terrific benefits. It is a great place to build a career: there are numerous opportunities for development throughout Illinois and Florida. Training is strong: lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Pay is low as in all non profits. Several CEO changes in the last five years, so the agency is striving to find it's place and direction.

Heavily Do Not Recommend

Pros

It is great to see the children, and families that we work with. The impact that case managers have on families is very important.

Cons

Lack of communication, lack of training, lack of supervision, and extremely high turnover. Higher management will prefer to blame the small people than take the heat for their own mistakes, which is typical corporate america. The employees have lack of coordination, and have extremely high case loads. It is humanly impossible for employees to have a life outside of work when working 13 to 14 hrs a day. Also if you get approved PTO time it is often not acknowledged, nor vacation time if they have things that have not been done. They will call you in to work even if its an approved day off. It is extremely rare to see an employee last more than a year.

Senior Supervisor

Pros

Flexibility, work with youth, great co-workers, supportive environment, great learning experience. The Centralia campus is a great place to build a career and learn the ropes of child welfare.

Cons

Level of stress, on-call 24/7, lack of support during overnight hours, work/life balance is a constant struggle due to the nature of the work. HR department is inconsistent and unprofessional. The department lacks the ability to do proper research and has repeatedly railroaded employees so they can make changes to best suit the budget; with no thought of the programs, youth, and families being affected. It is a terrible way to do business, manage professionals, and is detrimental to morale.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience working at OHU. We can assure you that both our HR department, and our organization, take great care in making and communicating decisions about budgets, especially those decisions that affect our employees and the youth and families we serve. We certainly have not been made aware of any situations involving “fabricated and embellished stories to make budget cuts,” nor would we tolerate such behavior if we had any reason to believe it was happening. We are sorry to hear that you feel differently, and it is unfortunate that your concerns were apparently never brought to our attention during your employment. In any event, we wish you the best in your future endeavors.
