Resources For Human Development Reviews

Pros

worker appreciation is very nice

Cons

could be slightly understaffed at times

Pros

I can’t speak for RHD as a whole other than my program, which is a City grant funded program, but it has been a positive experience so far. Mid level management/supervisors overall have been a welcome change to previous employers as they truly care about employees. Understanding,helpful and most of all no micro managing which does nothing but kill employee morale. Upper management/leadership is slightly unorganized with a lot of changes but overall it’s a pleasant unit to work for.

Cons

Slightly low pay rate for 2023, but have received 2 raises combining for around an 8% pay increase in my 1.5 years of employment. Seemingly unknowledgeable directors/leadership with a lot of changes but so far hasn’t effected employees. A little unorganized with not much training but supervisor has helped whenever needed and trained along the way

Pros

The clients are wonderful, lots of PTO (but very difficult to take time off)

Cons

Fear based decision making, leadership who has no idea of what happens in their programs, no supports available for staff despite the extreme risk of burnout and exposure to trauma. Leadership more concerned about liability and finances than providing quality services. Also, shocking amounts of racism, sexual harassment and blatant contempt for LGBTQ communities. Current employees beware - when you leave, RHD's negative reputation in the field will impact your job search/professional reputation. No onboarding, no exit interviews. Program leadership used to have more autonomy, voice in decision making, but now hampered by bureaucracy and micromanaging. Administrative services are completely dysfunctional: frequent payroll errors, IT issues in the programs can last for weeks to months, creating frustrating and unsafe issues for staff and clients. Extreme moral injury for social service practitioners who are frequently expected to act against their core values and ethical standards. Shared services is difficult to work with, creating unnecessary barriers that delay basic daily operations of programs.

Pros

Pay was pretty good and their PTO package is pretty stellar but it's not worth your mental health getting tanked over.

Cons

Almost everything. You got higher up's being overpaid for positions they don't belong in, you have employees who don't answer emails at all, you practice anti racism and anti homophobia but they keep racist and homophobic staff on hand, they DO NOT support you when you need it. No one will check in on you. They will not give you any documents or precise information when you put your two weeks in or time in to leave. I have 0 clue about my COBRA or next steps in general. No HR person met with me when I was hired and I was just thrown into a role I was not properly trained in. Overall, do yourself a favor and just do not work here. They are the "here's a pizza party" as a treat type organization. They do not practice what they preach, what is said to the world, is not communicated to those working for them. They say "Together, We're Better" and it's a joke. Literally no one is better, this job almost sent me into a psych ward because how bad it tanked my mental health and how little support I had. I never got a 60-90 day eval either. No one checked in during my time there to see how RHD and my job was doing besides my direct supervisor who was a delight. You got like 2 good people there and everyone and everything else is a no. Just don't.

Pros

Great culture, great work and flexibility

Cons

Not competitive with salary and benefits.

Pros

Peers are amazingly supportive and engaging

Cons

You have to fight to make sure you get paid bonuses and supplemental pay. Upper management is tone deaf and seemingly does not value the staff they have working hard under them .

Pros

Flexibility to accommodate plans/visits with consumers ahead of time.

Cons

Not enough time to complete progress notes for each consumer. All day out in the field. Low pay.

Pros

I like working with the clients

Cons

no work life balance/ if you complain they are likely to retaliate.

Pros

Cons

Pros

team environment flexibility to create your schedule

Cons

work life balance and management
