Hamilton County, Ohio

Management is seriously defective, archaic at best. Unable to take responsibility for their inaction's, process defects, most leaning towards responsibility slid to the down-line reports when mistakes are created by their own lack of self worth and ability to be responsible. Creating an environment of exclusion as opposed to inclusion is not acceptable and leaning upon an affectionate personality's for false input as opposed to clearly managing from proper point of view talents exists here solidly. Age discrimination here is a huge factor so if your over 35 looking for a last life line career stop, don't stop here, their budget ability is depressive in support of maintaining a properly funded competent staff. worst thing is, they will not waste a breath to drop you into legal harms way to save their own skin and will put you squarely in the lights of legal and financial harm. worse, they lie with a smile to sucker you in and toss you to the curb. Seriously lacking in proper compassionate guidance and are inline for massive failure in staffing ability. Benefits, are a lure, if your even there long enough for them to work in your favor. BS on easygoing family based. its about drama lies and pass the buck. No longer a family to me. Saddened to waste my time and dime here. 24/7 monitoring, not a job, your owned.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The standard management holds themselves to vs all other employees is honestly disgusting for lack of a better word. They do not care for training you, retaliate against you if you complain, and are genuinely so apathetic and mean to the employees. You better make good friends amongst your peers because your managers will not support you in the slightest and will complain about you needing support. The training here is a joke, and then they act inconvenienced at the thought of having to help the employees they oversee. If they don’t like you, they will make your life a living h*ll until you leave. Being professionalism back to the work place! Lord knows it’s missing here.

Worst job I have ever had in my life! Everything is always one sided. Alot of things I have seen that have gone against policy and same people get away with it. They say they want to help you be successful in this job but all administration does is not pick on every thing they can find! Alot of Drama with employees. There needs to be a good house cleaning in not only administration but as well as with Managers! Only thing I enjoyed about this job was spending time with the kids helping them make better life decisions but management and administration do not see good workers in their mits just looking to find ways to demoralize you! There is a high turnover rate people quitting or getting fired for one sided investigations that does not even show the whole story. Your not paid what your worth or for all the mistreatment you get. Go elsewhere to gain the experience your looking for!!

The Hamilton County Sign Shop was one of the most fun places to work at. And incredibly relaxed work environment and great people to work with. Every morning you’d start by getting a list of what needs to be done by your group leader. And if it was a rainy day you pair up and get more a defined list of goals such as “stop sign down on 1st street needs to me replaced.” And then you grabbed the trucks, fueled up and headed out. You were paired up by the foreman who picked people that worked best together. You would come back at the end of your 8 hours and if you had a goofy story like someone putting a sign up, upside down or something you would share it. But all in all it was an excellent place to work.

I have been at this job for over 15 years. The pay isnt bad but you are killed by your deductions. There is no family/work life here. I've had to work over 60 hours in a week and was still hit with force mandatory overtime. The schedule is absolutely atrocious. 6 days on 2 days off. Holidays with your family is gone if you work here. Not to mention the overtime that you can be hit with on these holidays. The turnover is also horrible. On average we lose 7 people a month. All this and we haven't even talked about the treatment here. Inmates are treated better then the officers.

Good resume builder and great for those pursuing a career in criminal justice. Administration is totally out of touch with rest of the staff,terrible moral in the building...overtime is almost always available which is a good thing, because without the overtime the pay it  is not worth it. Led to believe administration has your back, but in actuality all they do is look at cameras all day nit picking on how you can do your job better,not how they can HELP you do better. No room for advancement because everyone with the best schedule and best pay are not leaving for at least another 10 years.

Work-life balance
You don't have balance there

Pay & benefits
Under pay and the benefits that nobody explains are not worth the trouble.

Job security and advancement
You either put up with a lot of bs, lack of communication and have a bunch of bosses telling you different task or you depart from that.

Management
Keep reminding them of you stuff.

Culture
There isn't one.

Overall
For a county building, this place is worse than a fast food restaurant. The lack of communication, the multitude of management, the task they give you and the environment is disappointing.

The workload is extremely high making it almost impossible to effectively manage your families and ensure that the children that we serve are safe. Caseloads are between 40-60 and should be 15-20. Culture differences make it hard for workers and supervisors to serve the families. No support from Section Chiefs and horrible supervisors. Hamilton County Children Services need a complete overhaul. STAY AWAY!

I worked at the youth center and I learned that administration is disconnected with the staff. Worst part is the low pay. You are hired for 2nd shift and you will not get off that shift unless you have been here for 20 years or longer. if you have your degree you only get a few cents more an hour. There is no room for advancement, even though you are led to believe there is. Terrible moral in the building allso. Good job as a stepping stone.

The pay and benefits are good. If you are not a self starter and you can't handle emotional situations don't work here. You will be left to figure it out without any training because they only care about getting people out in the field by their clock. There will most likely be a lot of over time because there isn't many employees. If you have other things going on that require balance like school or family needs don't even consider this place.
