      Disapproves of CEO

      I have been working at Catholic Charities USA full-time for more than 4 years

      Pros

      Cons

      Micromanaging Crazy Work load Crazy Caseload (I am afraid there are no limits) Limited Resources Left in the dark with ever changing regulations and circumstances Some employees are not even certified for their position, especially supervisors who used to be nuns and treat you like a school boy/girl in a catholic school Demand perfection while managing a high caseload with limited resources and with...

      I have been working at Catholic Charities USA full-time

      Pros

      Lower level and mid level employees really work hard together. Everyone on those level are willing to work and help each other out .

      Former Employee - Youth Counselor in Minneapolis, MN

      I worked at Catholic Charities USA full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      The biggest pro of working at St. Joseph's Home for Children through Catholic Charities is that several of the staff are really dedicated to the kids and the work that they do.

The shelter itself is not currently capable of accepting youth with...
