Pros

The only pros that I have for this organization is that I did learn a lot on my own, not through any guidance that you would receive from a supervisor, but genuinely by myself utilizing the NC Child Welfare Policy and Procedures, as well as a few senior employees (there's not a whole lot due to the high turnover)

Cons

- The work environment is one of the worst that I have ever worked in...EVER. Other co-workers, as well as supervisors, are cold and extremely rude. You will experience a lot of gossip and drama while working there. Supervisors talk poorly to workers about other workers....just think of it as working with a group of people who have the mentality/maturity of a teenager. - I would say that only 1-2 people who work there actually know the NC's Child Welfare Procedures and Policies, and one of them is the attorney. - Families are not getting the services that they need or deserve. - Backstabbing is a tactical and common move within this organization, so be prepared. DO NOT trust anyone...no one is truly your friend and no one has your best interest at heart. It's the exact definition of dog-eat-dog world.
