Catholic Charities Serving Central Washington

Poor management and a toxic work environment. Leadership and directors are highly reactive, which has resulted in constant “restructuring.” This restructuring appears to follow a pattern of eliminating positions of employees upper management personally dislikes, or demoting individuals from lead roles to lower-level team positions. Drastic and permanent schedule changes are frequently made mandatory without consideration for staff well-being.

Raising concerns with HR does not feel safe; HR informs direct managers, and retaliation can be expected. When first hired, management presents as kind, understanding, and supportive, but over time this shifts into gaslighting, manipulation, and being spoken to in a demeaning manner.

Within the community, this agency has a poor reputation. Leadership appears more focused on community perception than on client care or employee satisfaction. It is disappointing that Catholic Charities has not meaningfully reviewed employee feedback, particularly the clear correlation between declining ratings and the restructuring that occurred during that period.

each is not typical, always something added to the operation
never take anything for granted at my work
I can manage my own self and be productive and get to the end of the day with my goals met. Tasks finished!
I respect the workplace culture. Everyone has a story and a life to live whether it is here at work or away, I love to hear everyone ideas and their stories.
not getting my work done when there is a copier problem or  publisher problem.
Having my office where it is located and having staff come by to say hello and chat briefly,  And knowing that they come to me with questions and I can help.
I am grateful of all Catholic Charities does for me.

I haven't worked there for about 6-7 yrs now I believe, but when I did it was an amazing time.  The teachers really enjoyed helping the kids learn and teaching them.  They were really loving.  I was a Bus Aide/Teacher's Aide.  I worked on the bus and in the classroom.  It was fun to play with the kids and do activities.  I was able to work with children who had behavioral issues, as well as children on the Autism spectrum.  I have also worked with children in the foster care system.  We also worked closely with the families and became close to them, helping them work with their kiddos also.  Overall amazing experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only good thing about this agency are the client being served, that's it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management, disorganization, chaos, favoritism, many many more things.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chaotic and disorganized with poor management and nepotism at it's finest. People get hired based on who you know and not what you know. The agency favors community relationship over loyalty and respect for their workers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaos filled with multiple calls at once, no breaks in between, poor management, lots and lots of documentation afterwards with work to be taken home every night.

Managers first love bomb you making you feel like you matter, but then they will start showing their true colors and beat you down to the point you feel you can never perform at their expectations. They will keep adding more loads on you that were not part of your initial job description. They will promise you things and then do the complete other. The new managements especially are awful people who only care about saving a face rather than care about their employees. 

I really enjoy working for Catholic Charities because it has opened my eyes to how a company should treat their employees, I feel appreciated. My work is fun and comfortable and every one strives to get along by being positive no matter what the work challenges are. 

The most enjoyable thing about Catholic Charities is seeing the heart in everyones daily moments and how much passion each individual has for the care we provide to the community. Catholic Charities is the Hope our valley needs and I love seeing lives being positively changed and encouraged daily with the care and reminders that they matter! 

Each day I have an understanding of my role and expectations related to my job, who to ask for guidance and help when needed. Supervisor is great an has been very attentive to my onboarding. I enjoy all I have been learning till know about Play groups services and training. 

There is importance in how a employer treats its employees during unprecedented times. During Covid-19 2020, Catholic Charities has encouraged their employees to work and stay at home with their families. They have ensured that their employees are still receiving pay. And lastly, they are still actively hiring and guarantee that new employees have all the necessary safety measures.

I truly enjoyed my time working at CCCW. They were very flexible and family friendly, and always looking to provide more services to benefit the community. The management was easy to get along with and everyone believes in the mission of the organization. Keep up the awesome work!
