Childrens Rescue Fund

CRF does not foster a respectful work environment. During staff meetings, screaming and yelling was common. Being written up without guidance or structure is common. On several occasions, I was the only social services member on site. My first formal supervision was 7 months from my start date, in which I was written up by a brand new supervisor. There was an incredibly high turnover rate during my employment at CRF and positions were empty for long periods of time. Upper management is incredibly unorganized, I passed my probation period in October, but my time was not released to me until February despite my constant efforts of having it released to me. All in all, you could put in 100% all day every day and upper management will continue to point out your shortcomings from their ivory towers. 

Children Rescue Fund is an organization that is carrying out a very essential service for women who have been abused, homeless and have no place to live with their children. They have shelters that are fully staffed and safe to provide for the social welfare and needs of their clients.  
Homelessness is a serious problem in the United States which is one of the richest countries in the world.
About 75% or even higher of the people who are homeless are children that are 18yrs and under. Many people are not aware of this statistic and do not pay any attention to homeless people until when they themselves become homeless for not being  in a position to pay their expensive rents. Every American citizen should be concerned about the issue of homelessness before they become a victim of this saga.

This organization is the definition of do your job, go home, and collect your check.. at lease thats how management makes you feel. Dont dare come in with knowledge and skill on homelessness cuz mgrs that were grandfathered into their positions will be threatened by that. 
The culture here is pretty ghetto.. and its funny how many of their 'directors' dont have college degrees... but I digress. 
HR is unprofessional as ever.. and the new HR recruiter is obnoxious and does not care about bringingin quality people. 
Peers are cool (some) turnover is a 70/30 70 leave lol.. benefits are OK, nothing wonderful. Helping clients navigate the social service arena and getting them the services they need is the m0st enjoyable part of this job. Other than that, there's none.

While the work itself was extremely rewarding and seeing the clients progress to getting jobs and moving out of shelter was awesome, the manangement is ultimately the reason why I left. There was no support coming from them and would not take into consideration your needs. It was almost a dictatorship. The caseload was extememly unreasonable as the job summary stated max. 25 families but often had over 30 families to work with. If you didn’t reach your deadline with your paperwork you were reprimanded. It was a toxic work environment which is why there is such a high turnover rate.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits, management, co-workers, schedule and pay. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having the right tools to complete the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The office I was at in Long Island City was great. Staff was amazing. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy with meeting families to complete their paperwork so they can exit temporary shelter into permanent housing.

Upon the death of the former CEO and being acquired by the new CEO the company has been diminishing in cultural ethics. This is creating an environment of fear, threats, and mental abuse of the employees. The clients are not held accountable while the staff is constantly put in harms way. The CEO has compromised himself by getting involved with one of his Executives. Managers are being put in position with no experience and are putting employees in harms way.

the job is stressful i learned more hands on as far as you are inputting data into a computer much better than paper and pen 
management was basically alot of chiefs and not many Indians if you know what i mean  your coworkers are always stressed and looking to throw someone else in the line of fire the hardest part of the job is the corruption from the director to the supervisor u work with  the only good most enjoyable part of the job is the starting pay

It’s a great start for social work but management was terrible. This job tries to instill that they are a family meanwhile some higher ups are close friends and will go against you. The job needs more structure and training. Helping the clients is the main goal but sometimes the clients just turn into numbers and you are scolded and punished when a certain amount of clients do not move.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great pay and opportunities for growth

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of team work, low staff morale, boundaries, and accountability.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s great when you have a good team ready and willing to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meetings, completing paperwork and coordinating services.

Please stand clear from this company! the hire ups are immature, show favoritism and unprofessional. It shows a lot of people that got their positions were favored by who they know, not for their experiences. A lot of contradictions were observed. Poor pay, even with a lot of experience you’ll start at the same pay as a beginner. Unsanitary! High school like environment along with it being hostile everyday
