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.

Pros

Generous resources provided by the Casey family allow employees to focus on mission. Incredibly smart and capable staff. The company has an awful amount of money to spend. Dr. Bell is a visionary leader.

Cons

Surprisingly toxic work culture for an organization focused on kids and families. This is a company that talks the talk, but internally doesn't walk the walk when it comes to treating people respectfully. Many departments run with a culture of fear which motivates managers to cover themselves and pass the buck when problems arise. If you decide to work here, make sure you have a supervisor that has your back. If they do, they'll need to be very savvy to survive. Oddest thing about working at Casey? There is absolutely no acknowledgement of employees when they leave. You randomly find out weeks or months later, even when their organizational functions overlap with yours. Surreal...

Pros

Great benefits and good pay. The mission statement is admirable. There are a lot of great people that work here. Parking is good for employees. The locations is good although there is always talk of the Seattle office relocating. They have the tools and resources to make a tremendous contribution to the child welfare field.

Cons

The big buzz word around Casey is political and it certainly is. You either play managements game or they will make your life miserable. The IT department is like a black hole. Management consists of highly unqualified people that either work in a silo ignoring everyone around them or rule with an iron fist. Very dysfunctional "team". They manage their way up to the big wigs and stomp all over people to do it. Ironically they think this is invisible to the other employees but as you can see it is not. There are some exceptional people within the department that are a great asset to the company. Other departments are full of very qualified, dedicated and great people working hard towards the goals of the company. A downside is that if you ask management for specifcs of what work is being done to meet the organization objectives you won't get any concrete proof. It's a very top heavy company.
