Family Services

I am an experienced  administrative assistant with 20+ years in the field and this is the worst experience I have ever had encountered. This job is emotionally and physically exhausting.  Your day consists of lots of phone contact. I was expected to not engage the clients. Get to the point and get them off the phone. You greet clients, collect copays, and make appointments.  There is a lot of contact concerning client medication needs and issues.  I suggested they needed a dedicated person just for the psychiatrist. Your days are mostly involved with psychiatry needs and the needs of clinicians and their clients become secondary. Which creates many problems. The EHR system is pretty easy. You are provided with two screens for all your tasks. Keeping the psychiatrist booked is of ultra-importance.  Clinicians' schedules must be kept booked as well and if there are gaps, clinicians and management come down on you. There is a lot of timely paperwork that needs to be faxed or emailed. Make sure to arrive on time for work. So you have to arrive early just to get settled and computers open at 8:30am. If you don't finish your work by the end of day, you stay and finish without pay. Leave it for next day is not an option.  Office management is self serving.  Don't expect HR to support you with the issues plaguing this company. Just be prepared and don't expect this to be a career move.

Hands down the weirdest work environment I've ever had the displeasure of working in, management is strange and they focus more on facades than actual change. Directors and supervisors were also getting fired during my time there, but I guess tried to remain professional... Though they couldn't seem to keep the personal out of the professional. There was a lot of administrative staff that was out of touch with the non administrative staff and the positions they oversee in general, no flexibility or compassion as their mission statement says. It's seemed like they have no idea about and dismissed the actual community they serve. They are inclusive and have diversity for the sake of the visuals but we all know what that's about, don't ever question anything or have an issue with unfair practices if you want to keep your job. They want complete compliance even if it interferes with the actual work or if it's a complete inconvenience to "work/life balance", which there is none of. They force you to use your PTO for their own holidays and taking a day off with your PTO seems to offend them, very toxic here and I do not recommend . Most of the childcare staff don't even have children and seem awkward around the children in their care, it's a lot more but I guess work there and see for yourself. 

When I was first hired, I really enjoyed my position and where I was working. However, over time, the leadership at my organization proved time and time again that they were not focused on our safety. If it were not for my coworkers and the clientele, I would not have survived as long as I did. This place has a lot of potential but preys on young kids fresh out of school who struggle to advocate for themselves in an abusive work environment. As far as I am aware, anytime HR was involved in an issue, they often encouraged workers to push the issues under the rug and just keep pushing on. It is unfortunate, because the work is very fulfilling.

Don't bother applying here unless you want to work in a toxic environment for terrible pay!! They say they are DEI focused, not true - for them that just means hiring more people of color with no equity or inclusivity. You will not 
be valued, will be taken advantage of and you will probably do the job of 2-3 people with pay that's not even good for one of those jobs.Leadership hasbeen there for years, they are incompetent and are still there bc they've been there so long. No opportunities for growth, no salary increases based on merit/performance. You'll only get that if you barely do your job and pretend to like Leadership.

Working with the staff and children at the court house.  Learned that I was capable of using both of my degrees and experiences on other jobs for this position.  Management was reliable and dependable at all times.  I had wonderful co-workers that supported me and my decisions as the lead teacher.  The most difficult part of the job was if a child was being removed from their home we had to support the court decisions and help social services in preparing the child for this removal.  There was never a moment that I did not enjoy this job was one I grow from and learned more about myself as a whole.

I loved working for Family Services. Food service is a really fun job and you learn a lot of new things. Over the three summers i spent working there I learned so much and met some great people. I learned the proper cutting boards to use for sanitarily cutting various foods. This job taught me a lot of new skills and all of the proper ways to maintain kitchen safety and sanitation.

Energetic and multitask environment. Heavy load of clients. Fast pace work. Case management, Interpretation, Translation in the Mental Health field.Enjoy working with customer,great satisfaction knowing that client needs are satisfied.

In my opinion, in order to work as a victim advocate here, one must possess a great deal amount of empathy for others and self-care skills. This job can be draining because you will fight against compassion fatigue and burn-out. You must really love the mission and the act of helping others. For me, the most enjoyable part of this job was helping victims of crimes on their path to healing.

Family Services is an organization that I am happy to be a part of. There seems to be a genuine interest in making sure staff are supported in their roles. I have learned that FS is a great entry level place of employment and if you stick around long enough, you can move up the ladder. The downside for me is the lack of cultural diversity.

The pay is moderately good in comparison to other non profit organizations.Nice management and there are opportunities for advancement.The organization gives you the opportunities to serve the communities.
