Community Action Partnership Of Kern

This place has a huge turnover rate, usually within a year. Any projects previous members were working on will fall on usually newbie members. There is mass favoritism over specific members and office gossip is historically rampant which has easily fallen from random gossip to isolation of employees. Likely due to small office space and lots of downtime. Admin seems to generalize the job duties so when new employees arrive they have no idea what the job entails. This is likely purposeful as other health educators in the county tend to earn a lot more than 23/24$ a hour with the same level of work. Aside from this, the job can give you great skills as they are working you until you can’t handle the stress with little acknowledgement. If you don’t mind that, CAPK has reasonable benefits. 10 vacation days, and ok insurance. This is a stepping stone job and I encourage to look elsewhere after 10 months.

Stressful, advancement only for friends or brown nosers,  you don't have to have experience in order to become a supervisor. The funding is spent frivolously, you have to be careful to whom you communicate with, The gossip makes you advance through the ranks. I have seen them hire inexperienced and then finally fire you six months later when they find out someone else has been doing all your work for you. Also they hire temps keeping them in limbo for over a year and promise them a position. They demote you if your getting older in age over 50+ years old, within the company If you get a interview opportunity it's based on a score, it's not on what you know in experience. Not worth the pay, and the company needs a whole restructuring from main office to the 19th street location.

I had the opportunity to work in different areas the food bank was great for the most part and you do run into people who have a heart for serving the community how ever you run into staff who have a horrible attitude lack of professionalism and it makes it hard for people to volunteer. Another program I worked with was also disappointing there was a lack of structure for such a great space and lots of problems with staff unprofessional, dismissive to any concerns or opinions you had specifically with the kids they took care of always fighting and lack of boundaries and structure or safety protocol really a wasted space that should serve its community . 

Volunteering Experience
Positive Work Environment
During my time volunteering in the department, I had a truly positive experience. The permanent staff consistently demonstrated acceptance, making me feel welcomed from the beginning. Their supportive nature extended beyond professional matters, as they were always willing to assist with any situation. One aspect that stood out was the staff's willingness to go above and beyond, even when it came to personal needs. No matter the circumstance, they were always prepared to offer help and ensure that I felt comfortable and valued as part of the team.


Horrible company to work for. Management sucks, they are not comprehensive nor do they assist in areas when you need help. They expect you to come in and understand the dynamic of the workplace with no proper training or help from management. HR is "for the company" never, for the employee. Everything is unorganized and out of order and they presume its perfectly fine when it isn't. There is a lack of communication also. Everything was awful! Besides my amazing co-workers 

They are known to be reported to the labor board because HR covers up upper management's dirty deeds. There is zero accountability for management when they practice unethical behavior. There is no room for promotion unless you are close to someone in upper management and willing to overlook injustices. If you report something to HR, you will become a target and be forced to quit through intimidation tactics.

Very open and honest about what had to be done for the families of our children. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Regular time for the day and I knew what was going to happen 
during the hours ahead.

The company is very micromanager. Supervisors are supposed to be your support system, but they don’t know what they’re doing themselves. You are over worked for bad pay. My position required a BA for little pay? There is no peace whatsoever. One day you’re at this center and the next at who knows where. If you’re ready to feel like a robot with no support at all, go for it. This company is not for everyone. 

Turnover rate is extremely high, narcissistic managers/ supervisors, toxic workplace culture which is highly disorganized, and you are given little to no support/ guidance given. Every work location is in shambles with very poor facility management, which is very obvious when you enter. No one is satisfied with their work which explains terrible support to participants and misallocation of funding. Pay is also very low and management is quick to give you more work rather than a decent raise.  Stay away.
