arrive put in for rental car for the day  check emails make phone calls to the clients that I wouldn't  be visiting on that particular day paired up with co-worker to go out in the community to check on our clients we had to be in a pair of two due to the high risk of clients visit clients at Board and Cares visit clients in jail take clients to court transport clients to doctor appointments, grocery shopping food shopping and to do laundry I learned things don't always go as we plan them as we want Workplace culture was great matter of was one of the best I've seen so far The hardest part of the job was going home at the end of the day and feeling like you didn't accomplish what you set out to do for the day however the next days a tomorrow The most enjoyable part of the job was helping clients understand the importance of taking their medication and keeping their appointments and being able to maintain their one apartment Management was fair

I was not here long. I have moved here from out of state to work here. Murphy's Law was in effect To top it off besides being homeless, I became really sick with pnuemonia. The company was not understanding and refused to make accommodations for me. In addition, the staff here were cold, rude, and run to the teacher on every little thing I do. People were complaining about me being sick and it was disturbing. This was before Covid as we have another 2 years before the discovery. Management was not supportive and would lie to cover up their mistakes. I wish I had never wasted my time being here. I was homeless due to the housing shortage in Stockton and thanks to this job, I end up being homeless for the next 6 months. It took 2 years to get my health halfway decent. Others might find this place enjoyable but for me, it was one long nightmare.

The county does not pay even close enough for the B.S. Cliques and unprofessional at it's worst. Managers and directors implement shady policies that border ethics, and chain of command isn't easily found in some departments. EEO department questionable. I've experienced lots of anti union sentiment and later found out some upper management positions are at will employed therefore no cohesion in worker's rights. The lower level of employment , the more pressure to perform even with non performing managers , supervisors, etc. Lots of personal intrusions such as coming in on sick leave or pressured into using a personal cell phones. Inconsistent training . Huge change over 5 years.

As a case manager you were placed in a difficult to no-win, situation.  You were expected to work with a case-load of 100-200 clients, ensuring they performed all court requirements and satisfying the judge that the client was in compliance.  Many of the clients did not want to do al the requirements set forth by the court.
     The manager of the department where I worked did not work on behalf of her employees and instead, was over-bearing and in essence a martinet.  It made working conditions very difficult.

My day was spent assisting methodically disables evidentiary of the day in a regular classroom with local students and a small part of the day in the special ed classroom.  I also assisted my student with personal needs.  ie, restroom cafeteria recess   the hardest part of my job was when my student graduated and moved on to another campus.  The best part of my job was watching my student achieve  his goals and move up to another campus.    I guess you could say that  I was proud of every accomplishment my student achieved.  I enjoyed my work and  cared deeply for my student.  We became very close

Depending on what section you work in, you will be thrown under the bus at the first opportunity. They say they value you, but then demonstrate that they couldn't care less. When you don't just agree with everything they say in the most enthusiastic way, they begin sliding down your performance rating and writing reports about you that contain inaccurate information that they refuse to change...and it gets worse and worse. Red tape level is high in terms of getting things done. Management routinely take out their stress on you by blaming you for things that you didn't even know existed.

I started as a social work intern at San Joaquin General Hospital for about nine months, then worked there another nine months as an employee. While the work itself was usually manageable, the department had serious issues. Leadership was poor, tension was constant, and supervisors rarely stayed. Social workers were often disrespected by other staff and underpaid. Ultimately, I chose to leave and prioritize my mental health.  

If you have no drive to promote and move up with in a company and are fine with waiting your turn behind people that are not qualified to do the job than this is the place for you. if you enjoy gosiping like a group of old woman, this is the spot, and if you like losing over 40% of you pay to things like union dues (for what i'm not sure cuz they always do terrible deals) and benefits which some of the most i have ever paid for, a retirement plan with no op-out option, and of course taxes than hay this is a dream job.
