Rewarding work overshadowed by poor leadership and treatment - Advocate Rose Brooks Center Employee Review

The people there truly care about the victims of domestic violence. Client centered. Caring. Trauma-informed. Stays on top of best practices for the field.

Not easy work. I wish there was unlimited money to help our clients, but working off of grant funding and donations- there will never be enough to help everyone.

Coworkers are incredible and the pto provided is great.

Unrealistic caseloads and continuously increasing demands by upper management. Directors idea of “other duties as assigned” is requiring their employees to take on jobs in other departments due to a continuous staff turnover. Employees are also tasked with training new new hires (and sometimes their Directors) while new hires are making the same pay, sometimes more. Some employees within the same department are allowed hybrid work schedules, single office spaces, or 4 day work weeks while others are required to share small office spaces and report to work daily. The management is disconnected from the clientele that is served by direct service staff, which puts staff in dangerous situations and leaves staff feeling unsupported and unheard.
