Every Childs Hope

A typical work day for me was simple and easy. I came in and got started on my work because I knew what was expected of me in my area of work. I learned how to hold a stable job. I worked there for two years and had all of one shift change. I learned how to stay safe on the job and be very productive of my time. I learned to set timely goals for myself and to be organized. With all that my job was done right. Management was run by to others shift supervisor and head management. They let me know what I needed to do and when to do or when it need to be done. The hardest part of my job was for the first two months i had to cover to shifts because one of my co-workers had quit unexpectedly and we had no one wanting to cover the spot. The whole experience was enjoyable because I learned a lot about myself and what I am able to do and accomplish in a tight work area.

Caseloads were high, and many cases had been mismanaged and handed off multiple times, making it difficult to build meaningful relationships with clients. The company also struggled with a poor reputation in the community, which affected cooperation with partners and access to services.

The role demands long hours and requires familiarity with CD processes. While this may work for individuals already well-versed in the system, it may not be ideal for those new to the environment.

When I join this agency, it was adventure in a different path. Working here has been a true experience, it gave me different levels of experience that I can utilize and bring to another company. I have met many interesting people, management has been loyal to me and my co-workers. A typical day here is always interesting, the co-workers are hardworking, fun people , being that I work in a community based program, each day is experience!  The hardest part of my job, is watching people leave, at this agency people leave often, that's due to the fact that is a field of social work. The most enjoyable is the awards, recognition that we are given quarterly.

Don't waste your time with this company! You'll be micro-managed by incompetent administrators, and yelled at by ungrateful residents. This company is extremely stressful, with very little to no support from your supervisors. Most employees sit around all day on their phones instead of engaging or interacting with the residents. When problems do arise, which happen quite often, you're left to deal with it by yourself, with tons of paperwork to fill out. 
Administration is poor at best, co-workers are unreliable, and most residents have so many issues, it's just not a productive or fulfilling job. This is an extremely TOXIC work environment.

One of the best and worst jobs i ever had. Best because I loved the clients and coworkers. Worst because of the treatment of the care staff. Over worked, under paid, under appreciated. I worked that for 3 and a half years. Gave up my off days to transport clients, something clinical staff should do. Works ungodly hours, 10 + hours without a break. The clinical staff is held on a pedestal, the direct staff are commoners. Some of the clients are amazing but thats few and far between. Little to no off campus/extra activities for clients. No life skills being taught to older clients. Therapy is a joke for most clients.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The kids are the best thing. Definitely the kids!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Rules change daily. You are expected to give it your all. It’s he say she say like the adults are children. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was okay at the start but after a few months it started to change. We make the house supervisor look good and we get treated bottom of the barrel. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on the shift. You will work alone. Your responsibility is endless!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping families maintain their relationships through the foster care process. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many responsibilities without proper training and supervision. Too many hours expected over 40.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Huge turnover so you don’t get to know anyone and everyone is always new, confused, and overwhelmed. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You may start with a list of three things to accomplish  but crisis situations hit you immediately upon walking in the door and before you know it it’s 9pm.

Great place to work for any Social Service, Social Work, Case Management, or Clinical Staff Worker. Great TLP Programs, On-Campus Behavioral Learning Center, On-Campus Day School Program, Excellent Counseling and Therapeutic Services on site, Diverse Staff, A great to work place for anyone who loves helping children, youth, and young adults reach their best potential in life.

I have worked at ECH for many years.  The work that we do is important work and sometimes hard work.  My coworkers make all the difference.   Our office is fun and I enjoy the people that I work with... we laugh a lot.
Even though the work/life balance gets out of whack, they offer a lot of vacation time and the ability to flex your schedule.

Great place to gain experience. I enjoyed my experience while working there. I am glad that I was able to work with families and advocate for them while in court. I learned alot about the court system and The Division of Family and Children's Services.
