Hampton Roads Workforce Council Reviews

Virginia retirement is sold to you as stellar, but the match isn't competitive in this market at all. Health insurance is very expensive for a family. Strong boys club mentality. Executive/senior leadership are all best friends that the ceo brought in. Everyone thinks that the organization is thriving because of great PR and marketing (always in the news), but really its a handful of employees working theirselves to death to achieve the success for very little pay and no recognition. Organization is completely split and not because of the merger. Entire organization is very understaffed and we can't fill positions because the pay is so low and word has gotten around town how bad people are overworked. There is NO HR department so you have no where to file complaints of harrassment or negligent behavior, etc. which really seems illegal. There also was no IT person until a few months ago and now that person is so overworked no one can still get any help. Overall, if everyone that makes the company successful realized their worth and left it would all fall apart.

the people who are disbursing the grants and management don’t understand the concept of providing social services and the population that is served. Employees are being told in so many words they aren’t doing anything but you can’t make clients sign things or provide necessary information. Or they will judge productivity by your Outlook calendar. If you’re actually working you don’t have time to put every little thing on your calendar. But I should’ve known I was in for chaos. The hr person called me 20 mins late for my interview and then interrupted me mid-interview to let me know she had another call coming up. I should’ve known how they view employees and the standard of unprofessionalism.
