Montgomery County, OH

I am typically in and out of the office throughout the day managing my case load.  I perform in-person home visits quarterly and reassessments annually and well as manage my case load via the telephone.  I am continually linking my consumers with community resources and advocating on there behalf as well as encouraging them to advocate for themselves.  I manage consumer's services and make sure that consumer's community needs are met.  I have a wealth of knowledge about all aspects that may confront the elderly population and I am eager to assist in any way I can.  I have learned  about the elderly population and how to more effectively organize my caseload so that I may maximize my ability to be there for my consumers.  Management is supportive and available at all times.  It can be challenging at time to get an abundance of enrollments in a short period of time but I enjoy getting to know new people and am thankful I am in a career field where I can help people.

Good benefits, 80 hours of PPL per year as well as good amount of Vacation and sick leave. Pay is okay. Negative thing about it is the pay doesn’t increase with how long you been at the agency, it depends on your position. So a worker who has been an Economic Support Specialist for 10 years is paid the same as one who started out. Work culture is good but the workload is fairly insane for the pay. Over 1000 cases on Medicaid alone. So it’s constant busy work. Yes, it’s nice to help those in need, but the workload makes it hard to stay on time. Policies change every administration whether  form the state level or federal. Job is a good starting base, good retirement if you stay with it, and it’s a good jumping off point to other agencies within the county. Per our union contract, pay increases 2% per year for 3 years. Then the contract gets renegotiated.

You will most likely work 4, 10 hour shifts. On your feet all day, very physical job, best for younger candidates. It takes a heavy heart to work in this field and it truly is a rollercoaster of emotions. Some days I absolutely loved my job, and others I was so stressed and overworked. My coworkers really helped and the dogs and pay are the only reason I stayed. Expectations are too high for an entry level job and it is hard to get management’s attention. Do not count on job security. Safety is always a concern when dealing with shelter dogs, you will see multiple unhandleable/dangerous dogs while working there. Training is provided throughout the year, however new hire onboarding is rigorous.


What is the best part of working at the company?
The work is fast pace. If you been in Ohio government work for some time the benefits are decent. The agency I worked for was unionized.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Huge disconnect between every level of leadership and front line staff. The public, media and top county leadership is very adversarial. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on unit assignment. Some units had good rapport however some have highly dysfunctional burnt out leadership. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day is different and is often high pace.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The hours are great work three 12 hr shifts 4 days off, next week work four 12 h.our shifts 3 days off

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of workers, understaffed, always asking for overtime, you can work 7 days a week, but will use against you for bonuses,

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, always under a microscope because of cameras and microphones. Will still go against recordings during investigations for Woke Agenda

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Watch inmates, maybe get break if enough people show to work

Borderline criminal. How they treat the patients at the Stillwater center it horrible. The therapist is overwhelmed and the only person with clinical knowledge in respiratory care. Others sit and listen to alarms going off. I had to repeatedly send patients to the hospital at the start of my shift because of poor care and no therapist before I came on shift. They let LPN's do RT work and it shows. The place is a joke. Run as fast as possible to a different place to apply, no matter how much they pay and believe me the pay is way too low.

Daily PMs and work orders. 
Finding things to do. 
Non management co workers are great and can have a lot of fun. 
Hardest part of the job is waiting for management to make a decision. 
Interned for a supervisor position for well over four months and because I wasn’t good enough for the interview I didn’t get it while doing more than any other supervisors previously. 
They are not paying enough.
They are not bringing in more help. 
We are going to get ourselves hurt with the low amount of staff we have. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
It feels great working for purpose not profit.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There's many necessary procedures to make sure that there's no fraud, waste, or abuse and safeguard the taxpayer money so it does take longer to get anything done.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people are really great and there's very much a "we're all in this together" mentality. It's very much a place to work if you're a people person.

Unless you truly need a job in government, run. Managers don't often agree with one another and don't back up their employee. Everyone only looks out for what it takes to keep there job with minimum effort. The environment pushes out good employees and rewards complacent ones. The pays is no where near the level of stress and unprofessionalism one has to deal with.

I loved my time in the prosecutors office. I loved feeling like I was making a difference in my community. I enjoyed doing the trial work, as well as working hand in hand with law enforcement to put together our cases.

The office I worked in was overly political (the elected prosecutor was investigated and ultimately lost his federal funding due to violation the Hatch act). I did not enjoy that aspect of the office.
