Pros

Flexible schedule, my direct supervisor was helpful and supportive. Co workers made it enjoyable made some good friendships

Cons

Where do I start....pay SUCKS case managers who make the company run have to work paycheck to paycheck while the suits at corporate live like fat cows. They actually had the audacity to ask employees to "donate" money so they could build a building (which I later found out they named after the CEO who is making probably close to a million a year while his employees struggle to put food on the table) oh but they do give you a 1.5% raise every year which equates to about $15 a paycheck after taxes. They only promote people who are in the cliques in JOCO or who are butt kissers. For a company that supposedly supports the well being of families they sure don't care about their own family (unless your in the cool kids club) avoid this place at all costs. You will be better off waiting tables

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
