What is the best part of working at the company?
Retirement and on the job employee benefits. These have become mostly extinct in the private sector. Play the "long-game" not he "short-game". The health benefits stop with retirement but the SCERS retirements are better than CALPERS, in many cases. COLA adjusted lifetime retirement is more attractive these days than ever, 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Government jobs are always accompanied by annoying silliness. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Varies by department and union influence. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Generally you know what you'll be doing.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Bi-weekly paydays. I have nothing more to say about Sacramento County.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management that didn’t know what their staff did, but still tried to micromanage. No support for line staff. Nepotism and favoritism. 

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

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Talk to clients and other agencies on the phone. Attend meetings. Complete a lot of paperwork, notes and narratives.

A typical day was getting the elderly lady ready for the day. Making breakfast and while she did her make up and watched her T.V. shows I would do the outside maintenance the was required for the day. When I was done with that I would fix lunch and clean the kitchen up. We would then run the errands she needed to get done for the day come home and I would prepare dinner as she watched T.V.. After dinner if it was her bath day I would help her bath and get ready for bed. I would then help her get into bed and she would watch T.V. for the rest of the night and I would then do  the house cleaning that needed to be done.

Benefits are amazing, as are the people you work with. It takes a while to finally get used to the position if you have never worked in a call center and some customers can be angry at times but it is rewarding to help them and know you made a difference. Another plus is getting really close with the class you trained with and being able to still ask them questions and relate to them. 

The last few years made it a very toxic environment. Narcissistic management trickles down to create toxicity. You can use the experience as a strong stepping stone. If you approach your time with DHA as temporary and not allow yourself to get sucked in, you can move on to more fulfilling and less toxic environments that allow you to assist others. 

My day would start at 6:30 am and end at 4pm. All of my experience I learned through the county. If was my first job ever, I learned how to use Microsoft office through the county training. The management was great. We always had their support. Great work environment.   Our department really cared about our public with customer service.

I really enjoy doing in home care. I like the feeling of being able to help those that can not help themselves. The people are nice and friendly. the hours depend on the person and their situation. I also enjoy that it works around my school schedule.

I wish they had more support for new social workers so that they wouldn't get burnt out and receive more guidance from their supervisor. I am thankful for my peer trainer who went the extra step to help me. 

I would say that the environment you work in, in terms of teams, is great. Management can be hard to communicate with and sometimes it gets confusing. Lots of case and the workload can be uneven and intense at times. 

Supervisor and upper management care for the staff; great work/life balance and culture; impactful public health programs for families. I really enjoy working in Sacramento County Public Health.
