    starting salary sounds nice but you will never see another raise

    Feb 10, 2022 - Child Welfare Specialist II in Oklahoma City, OK

    Pros

    so the pros are the benefits are great and pre covid the co- workers were fantastic and honstly that makes of breaks this job. Also for entry level the salary is decent

    Cons

    you will have an ever increasing workload, little support from leadership and honestly you may very well get thrown to doing a job you aren't even trained to do and you better figure it out quick. Also don't expect to ever see a meaningful raise.

    Low pay, but great benefits

    Jul 26, 2022 - Program Supervisor 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Leave (sick and vacation) is generous. Medical and other insurance benefits are excellent (especially when compared to the private sector). Retirement benefits are very good. The division of the agency that I am in has a collegial and supportive culture.

    Cons

    The pay is significantly lower than in the private sector. Performance-based raises do not occur, though there are indications that leadership is attempting to change this.

    Good benefits, pay for the region

    Oct 18, 2021 - Child Support Specialist II in Tulsa, OK
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Benefits allowance covers or helps cover insurance/health care; effectively an extra $600-700/month (single, no dependents) of income in addition to salary. Good job security. Pay and benefits are above average/good for the area.

    Cons

    Pay does not scale year by year to track inflation like federal employment. Depending on county, office, or specific job title caseloads may be high (especially for Child Welfare in Tulsa or OKC, or for SNAP workers in general). Occasionally difficult clients. Minimal promotion opportunities that depend on people in existing positions retiring/leaving/getting promoted (which is not often).
