Fatigue will hit you 2 days-3 months of working at this place. You're overworked and underpaid. Expected to be a maid, cleaning up after residents and their babies if the resident's don't themselves. Residents are assigned chores that they don't always do. You're also required to complete your tasks The residents are allowed to disrespect staff (curse them out and call them racial slurs) and there are no consequences. Supervisors at the cottages can only do so much when the president of the cottages doesn't offer any support. The supervisors are trying to get some structure in the Residential cottages but the President of Residential doesn't trust her Supervisors. The President of Residential is scared of the residents. She will undermine staff after she had just told the staff to tell the residents no. She likes to play mom and dad games with the staff and the residents. President of the Residential Cottage is out of touch. She is never there when things hit the fan. She's not a team player. They believe the girls over the staff. They require you to do too much with little pay.  Seton Home is all about money. During the pandemic, Seton Home Residential side is continuously taking more residents with no regard to the risk they pose to the current residents and staff.  This place isn't all that it's cracked up to be. They claim to be about diversity but, don't have much diversity in the organization. It's predominately Hispanics that work there. HIGH TURNOVER RATE!!!! Residents are ungrateful for the things that they are supplied with.

The Archdiocese of San Antonio is an organization for the service of the community in the San Antonio area. Working with them as an ordained deacon brought me great satisfaction and personal growth. I received four years of formal diaconate training before beginning my ministry as an ordained deacon, although I had already been serving for some years as a lay minister in other capacities. My position called for working with my parish pastor assisting him in his ministry to the local parish. I had two other active deacons working along with us in the same field. I also worked independently of the pastor as well as away front he parish doing ministry for marriages and families in extra parrochial and even interfaith organizations. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church is ancient and rigid. This archdiocese is also very big. You find your normal in house politics and day to day problems to deal with within the organization. I was suspended from my position after over ten years of very successful ministry without any due process. I am not embittered by this; however, I am no longer working in this capacity.

Past youth care worker. Compared to other YCW’s this organization paid less around $3 difference. 
In paper this organization sounds fantastic and wanting to make a difference. However, under administration the workers are not appreciated and not looked after mental health wise (even when they “encouraged” the help provided). 
 Many people stress about work life balance especially if you have family/kids. You will see a change of personality and experience compassion fatigue after three months maybe sooner. 
I felt that workers where being ignored, overlooked and not properly trained. Work load was not balanced fairly and it seemed that upper management and administration had a better work life balance and satisfaction of work environment.  

CEO should observe and shadow paraprofessionals within shelters and their management to fix foundation issues on both sides of shelters. (Highly recommended)

The work environment was a team concept. The team reviewed the workload and the previous day accomplishments. The team met on a daily basis to make any adjustments to daily strategy to facilitate and expedite the process. We needed to utilize each and everyone's strength, experience, and be flexible in order to make the proper adjustments and have the correct objectives. Management was great in empowering the team to make the appropriate adjustments and changes to the mission. Everyone displayed a mission driven attitude and the team was patient with each other. Everyone assisted each other. Hardest part of the role and project was working with items that were somewhat out of our control. We needed to employ patience and consistency.  Most enjoyable was the camaraderie and professionalism.

Mount Sacred Heart is a loving and caring christian community.   Students are very respectful and engaging learners.   Parents are close knit and very supportive.    Administration provides teachers and staff with great staff development and are very family oriented.    Teachers are caring, dedicated and committed to teaching. This school offers good benefits, but job security depends on student enrollment.   There is very little for job advancement.    Administration has great management and administrative skills.   Everyone gets along and work together to reach a common goal.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO are severely below standards.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO they will choose nepotism over qualified and dedicated employees.

Management
They are clueless as to how the machinations of their  offices really function. As long as the bottom line works they don’t care how it gets there.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO average.

Overall
My experience working at ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO proved dedication and job proficiency was unimportant and unrecognized. Nepotism and name connections run rampant and detrimental.

I was an umpire for a seasonal job to see what was work was like. A typical day for this job is explaining the rules to the coaches and to make sure that the players were safe. The management is great. Co-workers were awesome. The hardest part for the first time was trying to control the parents and coaches for the first time, but was alot eaiser the second time around and got easier after every game. My enjoyable part of the job was solving the problems coaches had with me, because of a call i had made. I slowly took them step by step on why i made that call and why my call was reasonable. The other enjoyable moment was that everyone had a fair game and chance when I umpired there games.

Working in a Catholic School is a gift itself, you not only get to teach  but you also get to become closer to your faith which is a big pro. However they tend to forget that you are underpaid, and overworked and expect you to be committed to after school activities without pay.  You don't get to eat lunch with your coworkers as we are required to eat lunch with the students and you don't get to have a planning period all week. 
OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID

I would highly recommend this job other than salary. Laid back, relaxed work environment . Excellent management and freedom to do your job with mimnimal overbite. Opportunity for advancement if your very patient and tenacious worker employees have greatvworking relationships and collaboration is highly encouraged. Training is poor so bring your skill set. Professional development is available and ongoing

Working for the church is unlike any other job I have had in the past there are pros and cons. The dress code is antiquated and way  too conservative. Upper management at Director level does not offer much to their employees as far as incentives, guidance, or weekly meetings. There is no current employee handbook, nor any direction for how the organization flows for new employees. A sink or swim environment.
