Pros

•Some supervisors really care about how well you do and helping you improve your work with the children & families. •When your work with a family pays off, it feels REALLY good. •Health Benefits for 1 person are good. •PTO is great. •I love that I can make my own schedule & KVC is closed on weekends. That is one of my biggest reasons why I stay at KVC. •Another HUGE reason I stay at KVC is because my co-workers are amazing & I love the people I work with and how much they care about their job.

Cons

•There is 7382727272 on your to do list and only 40 hours in a work week. I don’t know ANYONE who actually works 40 hours a week & feels comfortable with what they can get done. •Rules/Regulations made by DCF/the state sometimes don’t make sense and it’s tough to follow rules you don’t necessarily agree with. •It’s hard when people ask you to have things done that are impossible to do. Some achievements can’t be done and that has to be okay. •The office is not family-friendly but is SUPPOSED to be family-friendly. •The people in this job that do not care about the children and families give those that really care a bad rep. •You do not get paid enough for the job you are asked to do. •Everyone is on-call every 2-3 months for a week. •Messes with your mental health, but there are EAP Services and you NEED to use your PTO.

Pros

KVC has been a rewarding place to work. I have a supportive supervisor, great coworkers, and genuinely enjoy the work I do. The team environment makes a big difference, especially in a setting that can be challenging at times.

Cons

This position definitely requires a strong, adaptable nurse due to the behavioral and psychiatric needs of the patients we care for, but it is meaningful work and has helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Pros

Culture has transformed dramatically from toxic to accountable, clear, and kind over a decade Strong leadership development (Gallup, Dare to Lead frameworks) Weekly 1:1 supervision means employees know their supervisors well Real internal mobility entry level to director is achievable based on work ethic Mission-driven workforce, people genuinely care about the kids and families they serve High retention most people want to stay and grow within, even when their current role isn't ideal, they will move positions to stay Respectful, psychologically safe environment all opinions welcome Excellent medical/dental/vision benefits; decent 403b match Positive social environment with systems that naturally filter out toxic behavior over time Competitive pay within the nonprofit/mental health sector

Cons

Pay is significantly below for-profit market rates. nonprofit pay scale is a real tradeoff Director role is highly unstructured can feel chaotic, especially in 24/7 locations requiring after-hours work Toxic employees can linger too long the kindness and grace extended to everyone delays removal Some employees stay in roles that aren't a good long-term fit simply because they love the culture Heavy meeting load at director level can crowd out focused, strategic work
