Working with kids who really need help can be rewarding. No micro-management. Make your own scedule.

Pros
Fellow Case Managers were all very welcoming and kind. Enjoyed working with most of the families and children.
Cons
Management was not good and you get such little pay for what they expected you to do/caseload. You are literally on-call 24/7. That is no way to live. Kudos to those who can or have been doing it for years. Not for me.

Advice to Management
Have yet to get a raise and I have been here over a year and have been praised by multiple supervisors all the way up to the director. I do not feel that I am appreciated by the company at large.
