I have been working at Oregon Department of Human Services full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Most positions are union represented and provide not only contractual benefits like health insurance and retirement benefits, but with voluntary union membership, employees have access to benefits like free college, pet, life and legal insurance as well.
Cons
We serve vulnerable Oregonians and the need for our services can be daunting. Budget constraints, staffing levels and an antiquated computer system can negatively impact working conditions.
Advice to Management
It is not possible to provide for staff that which you do not yourself have. Please hold your peers accountable for unprofessional behavior and be intentional about creating an environment of psychological safety for yourselves and your employees.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Oregon Department of Human Services (Tigard, OR).
Interview
Email- Answered questions- Met in person next, with a panel of 7. Then I heard back a few months later that they hired internal. The people were nice, and the interview was not challenging.
