Very dysfunctional place to work and the money doesn't make "crazy" worth it
Pros
Obviously the salary, benefits, training opportunities, and travel. I liked that we had the resources to provide unique services to our clients.
Cons
Upper management has generally never been a case manager for Casey and therefore does not understand and is not sympathetic to the trials of a case manager. They want you to give your whole life to Casey and work obscene hours, all so you can meet your "numbers" (by meeting the numbers, upper management gets 25% of their 300,00+ salary). You are encouraged tocherry pick clients so as to be able to meet your "numbers" of successful permanencies. We should be helping the the most difficult kids, but instead we choose the easist and give ourselves a false sense of success. I have NO CONFIDENCE in the leadership of Casey. No one wants to hear new or innovative ideas from "folks at the bottom." Only 1 or 2 people make decisions at Casey and as a worker it makes you feel pretty impotent. The hierarchy and buracracy are so tedious and disgusting . You cannot advance at Casey. they hire only outside folks.
