This company does random layoffs!
Management cares only about themselves!
No time off! 24/7 must always answer your phone even if you’re sleep or you will be written up!
Management will deny medical leave for a surgery if no one can cover your shift even though (it was due to layoffs) &!management can help until you return but refused to if its over a week! Management perfers you have a surgery that allows you to return to work after 4 days including the weekend! Management will make you explain what your surgery or medical leave is for even though they do not offer FMLA only personal time off! No rasies but every 6-10 years! Very under paid for the amount of work! Lack of apperception and team work! Management will tell you you have work responsibilities to up hold after explaining your child is sick! When layoffs occur management will put eveyones job duties that were laid off on you! With no pay increase! Once lay off occurs all pre planned vacations are taken away! No more vacations for anyone once the lay off occurs! You can’t talk to HR because everyone is friends with each other! Do not work here!! No case manager stays long!

What is the best part of working at the company?
I would not recommend this company. They do not care about their staff. All they care about is the numbers of kids they have in their care. The family advocate thinks she is a supervisor and treats everyone like they are underneath her. The foster parents are the true heroes for all that they do for the company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The staff and unreasonable standards of case load.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not pleasant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You do everything on your own, supervisor can’t help you because they took up licensing and have no idea how to do it.

A typical work day is very casual. I enjoy coordinating and planning activities for the children. I am learning how to manage daily routines and  extracurricular activities. I work as a team member with a variety of employees. Our goal is to provide excellent care for the children and to start the reunification process with their biological family. The hardest part of this job is seeing the children leave my care. The most enjoyable part is reuniting the family together.

This use to be a great company but the executive director they hired is childish, manipulative, not approachable, retaliates, controlling, power hungry, and just down right a terrible manager. People have complained for a year and the turn over is outrageous. Only a couple people still work there that did a year ago. People are afraid to complain now because no one has done anything about her and she retaliates. Don't work here unless she's gone

The overall work environment was unprofessional.  I felt as if I was in high school again, but with a team of mean girls (management team). Foster parents were not supported properly being that it is a therapeutic foster care agency.  It got so bad that a parent left the child and her things in front of the office because NTF would not remove her after giving written notice that the child was too much for the foster parent. 

Management played favors. Supervisor was never there and it was okay. Mgmt expected you to learn the job on your own. They ask you to do something and you try & get blamed when it does not work out. Only cared about appearance & numbers. They never backed up staff. Fparents were always right. I would never recommend anyone to work for this company in Jacksonville.

While working at Neighbor to Family I have learned how to effectively communicate with the State in regards to placements. My manager has taught me great leadership skills which has helped with being an effective Lead Case Manager.  The best part of my job is the success stories of kids being reunited with their parents but also makes it the hardest part as in most circumstances that is the last chance to work with the children and the birth family.

You must really enjoy working with different people and families. You must be wiling to deal with the families issues and make quick decisions. There is a lot of paperwork involved, almost unmanageable. Home visits are weekly and you can't miss a week which is difficult as you must work with the families schedule. if you have small children, its best that you look somewhere else as this is a morning, noon, night, and weekend occupation.

Avoid this agency at all costs!! Played favorites, the supervisor is MISERABLE and is sure to make everyone else feel the same, supervisor doesn't return calls in a timely manner, organization is losing funding and thought of incredibly poorly amongst other Jacksonville foster care organizations. If you would like to work hard every day only to constantly be criticized then this is the place for you.
