Catholic Charities Employer Reviews

The professional staff for this company is very rude. The pay is not great either everyone is requires to have some type of degree but they only start you off at about 11.85 per hour. With all the direct care and service hours that you put in and the stuff have to put up with the pay should be much greater. The woman in human resources comes off as – more...  sweet but can be really rude and talk down to employees. I do not feel as though they value their employees direct service especially. Many of the MOD and Program coordinators are very nice . The worse part of the job is the mandatory overtime that employees have to put in. – less

A typical day starts for me around lunch time. Helping the children be respectful of themselves and other during lunch. Helping the children stay on task during class time, helping with school work. Management has been very helpful with breaks, time off, providing different experiences with different children, and excellent training opportunities. My – more...  co-worker are extremely nice and patient people who excell at their jobs. The most difficult part of the job is dealing with physical fighting from the children. The most enjoyale part of the job is seeing the other side of that type of behavior. Building relationships with children who find it difficult to trust other people. – less

Being a Foster parent requires us to monitor and ensures safe and stable placement of children in our home while a home study and case management services for children placed on O'ahu who are being reunified with biological parents. We attempt to promote and enhance healthy child development, increase healthy family functioning, and decrease the risk – more...  factors for child abuse and neglect. The Foster Parents have develped a strong inter cicrle so we can communicate the unique training and finding what works. There is no typical day when you are working with At-Risk teenages. I guess that is why I enjoy my work. – less

My day begins with me entering the clients home,pushing in,then completing what my assignment is for the day.I have learned to be a good listner and pay attention to details.I have know direct contact with managment. I only notify her if there is any change in my regular routine. I'm only in direct contact with co-workers when we are partcipanting in – more...  our in-service.The hardest part of the job is not having full time assignments consistently. The most enjoyable part of the job is working independently. – less

A typical day started with me giving urine tests to clients. Then it was all uphill from then on. The first group was called reach group which was 2 hrs. long and it had to due with whether the clients dirty or were clean. The rest of the day was spent in various groups and 1:1 counseling. Writting client notes was done throughout the day.

A typical day would be check into the log and read the notes written about the shift prior to be informed of any situations or crisis, may conduct an intakes, supervise the clients in the shelter report any behavior that may be a threat to other residents or staff, supervise dinner, if I worked graveyard do medication distribution, do head check and – more...  make sure outside parimeter was secure as well as in building. – less

This use to be a good company but now it is all for profit..sad. The management is unprofessional and treats their employees like they are robots who need to work day and night. I had a very bad experience.

The pay is decent, the hours could be better. Its good for a second job only. They are open to new ideas which is always a good thing. Management could definitely be better.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help someone on a day-to-day basis. Being able to prevent or impede crisis is a very rewarding experience.

I appreciated the opportunity to work with a company that was truly commited to it's mission.

An innovative foster care program providing supportive therapy services to children in specialized foster care placements.

Internship, problems w/ gathering information.
Required internship, but not thorough.
Maybe a little discrimination, age & race.
Not very informed about causes & affects of substance abuse.
Working w/ groups of clients that was truly interested in making progress.

While I was just working as a part-time intern during my undergraduate career, the time spent at St. Vincent's has been noting but rewarding and educational.

I would come and check in everyday. Then i would do a check list to myself in my head of what needs to be done. I love been organized its a great way to keep focus. The hardest part is runing out of food and not being able to provide our minume requirement to families.

This was probably my favorite summer job. I had one job: organize the payroll paperwork. My supervisor was so cool. She even took me to Virgin music on my last day to buy me a CD as a gift. I only wish I didn't have to end it early because of summer football practice.

Working for Associated Catholic Charities is just a wonderful opportunity between working with wonderful people who believe in the mission of the company and knowing you are doing good for your local community. Although I work in the finance department, you still get a sense of accomplishment when you know that what you are doing is helping others.

Productive, and caring workplace. Enjoyed working with individuals that demonstrate a passion for what they do!!
