Help people and reunify families
Cons
Large caseload, long hours, no time for self care
- 1.0Jul 23, 2021Intake SpecialistFormer Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Get to meet people, travel around, decent-ish pay, government benefits, decent-ish training, maybe, rarely even help people, was sometimes interesting
Cons
No work life balance, hostile clients, hostile, terrible, non-supportive management, racist coworkers, often seems like not really helping but just punitive, penalizing poor people, and especially, people of color.

Pros
Working for the Department of Human Services, you get to help people. You get to make a difference. There are always new opportunities to promote.
Cons
Although DHS has no problem hiring a diverse workforce, they struggle to ensure that promotions to management and beyond are equally as diverse.

Pros
The benefits are great! Once in a while you actually get to help people, the only reason you stick with it.
Cons
Management! Nobody cares about people and least of all employees, your a number and the only thing that matters is how much you kiss up.
