The Center for Human Services

I do not recommend CHS as a workplace.  The job  is very rewarding and the regular staff are very supportive.  however, the  training is inadequate, leaving employees to figure things out on their own. When seeking feedback, supervisors often provide positive comments like “great job” or “well done,” only to later report otherwise. This behavior demonstrates a lack of honesty, fairness, and integrity. Additionally, there is no diversity at CHS  ( Sedalia) so you may be told you’re not a good fit. 

Additionally, they will terminate staff without providing any valid reason, citing Missouri’s at-will employment laws. This creates an unstable and untrustworthy work environment.

If you value transparency, integrity, genuine leadership, fairness  and stability in your workplace, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.




On a typical day at work I work directly with my clients providing them with the care that they need. I assist them with their goals and objectives and provide them with any supports that may be needed. In my room at work, we do a lot of craft projects and I work directly with the individuals to assist them with making the items needed. I don't get a lot of contact with management as we are in a separate building. When the manager over this operation is here, it is always very pleasant. My co-workers are great. We have a very diverse team and lots of differnt personalities that make it great and we support each other. Sometimes the hardest part of the job is not being able to get everything done on time due to lack of time. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to help the individuals that I serve and watching them learn new things and getting to be a part of those experiences.

There are great people at this company doing great things for people who desperately need them. However it is near impossible to stay long term if you are forward thinking and passionate. They clip the wings of the people who work there. They care more about the bottom dollar than employee or clients. It constantly felt like i was looking over my shoulder to make sure i didn't get in trouble or lose my job. I worked for a year before the stress took its toll and i had to leave. It by far was the most stressful time of my life. They threaten to let you go if you talk about anything that makes them look poorly. And talking about pay is a huge no-no. From what I gathered is that it varied greatly on if they liked your or not and degrees, which seemed fair to a point, but if they didn't like you personally you were screwed. Be prepared to make between 8-12 an hour and the 12 only if you have a degree,

My time at the Center for Human Services was probably the best job I have ever had.  I worked with people of all ages from birth to geriatrics who had intellectual and or developmental disabilities.  I helped with benefit acquisition, case management, medicaid waiver eligibility and vocational preparation.  

The center encourages personal development, and I had the opportunity to participate in a year long leadership program.  This amazing personal and professional growth opportunity was a gift that allowed learning about conflict resolution, program planning and development.

A typical day at work always made me feel important and what I did was very exciting to me. I learned how to be interact with staff and customers and how to be a more responsible worker. The management here was always nice to me and always willing to work out any issues that could've come up. My co-workers were always very nice to me and were always there to help me out whenever I needed help with something I didn't quite understand. The hardest part of this job was keeping up the kids that I worked with, but I eventually got used to it. The most enjoyable part of this job was getting to see happy smiling customers every single day.

I love working for CHS!!! I have been here for over 5 years and have been so impressed by the care and compassion that I have witnessed from the CEO down to the front line workers. I feel that my supervisors have my back are are so supportive of any ideas and suggestions. The company is also family oriented, which you don't find much any more. I sure don't plan on leaving as long as everything stays the same.

CHS makes you feel like you matter from the beginning. The support provided is unlike any other organization. Working remotely is a challenge for some and this organization makes it easy for all! The hours are flexible which is a must with today's culture. 
This is a challenging field and the expectation to rise above and beyond runs deep, however, this organization, it's employees, and our individuals make it rewarding and enjoyable! 

The Center for Human Services is a great place to work. Helping individuals live life beyond limitations is a rewarding experience. 
A typical day at work depends on the position. There are positions that have the typical office duties and there are positions that are direct support professionals. Regardless of the position, at the end of the day it is satisfactory to know that you have helped others live life to the fullest! 

Do not waste your time!! Managers lack leadership skills.  They give no support or understanding to anyone under them. They do not respect staff and have zero morals.  Extremely unorganized with training new hires and over training for others. This company thrives on stress! Low pay!  If you’re seeking a career in human services go elsewhere!  Better pay, organized and supportive leadership! 

Ability to work from home was both positive and negative.   Management expected 100% with no mistakes.  Director also is condecening and had favorites.  Focus was not on individuals and families instead she made it about standards. Expectation to work overtime  to meet timelines wether sick or not.  Many don't take vacation due to amount of time required before and after to get ready.
