Over all good
Project Manager (Former Employee), Riverside, CA – May 10, 2013
Depending on which department you work with was a nice job. Underpaid and can get better pay doing the same job with other counties but over all not bad.

Bad management
social worker (Former Employee), Moreno Valley – April 30, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: ridiculously high workload
There is no recognition or caring for employees. All management cares about are numbers (how many cases you completed/entered). The female supervisor says at meetings, "the numbers look bad but you guys are working hard, otherwise the numbers would be worse". Okay? It is a joke. The Moreno Valley IHSS office is one of the worst offices to be in. I have – more... been in other APS offices and they have lower caseloads and the job is much easier and the coworkers are decent. It makes no sense why the workload is so much higher at this office because we all get paid the same. Employees are not happy but management could care less, as long as they look good. Employees are not treated well here but there is no one to advocate. The best thing to do is leave like I did. Sad... – less

Miserable job
social worker (Current Employee), moreno valley, ca – March 8, 2013
Cons: dealing with mean people (sup), extremely high caseloads
a typical day at work is very long and seems never ending. i agree with the above poster who talked about how it feels like elementary school. everyone is overworked and severely underpaid. i think that the above poster and i have the same sup cause that's excatly how i feel. need i say more? i learned that if you suck up to your sup, you can get away – more... with murder (from what i've seen but i refuse to do this). coworkers are bad people and the hardest part of the job is knowing that the expectations management place on workers cant be met. there are people who take work home and work for free. there is so much incompetence that i could go on and on. i've been here for a while and things werent this bad. there is no enjoyable part of the job.... – less

WARNING!
IHSS Social Worker (Current Employee), 23119 Cottonwood Ave, Moreno Valley, CA 92553 – March 2, 2013
Pros: getting every other friday off & weekends & holidays. that is it...
Cons: high caseloads, mean co-workers & supervisors who play mind games..
I have never been this stressed out in my life. The supervisors are incompetent and have no business performing those roles. Some of these people are mentally ill and take out their problems on employees. In order to cope, the employees act like they are in junior high school with all the games that are played. Employees will plot behind your back. – more... The hardest part of the job is that the caseload is really high and the expectations are ridiculous. For the low pay, we should not be pushed so hard. If you do a good job, they never tell you but they will let you know when you were unable to keep up with the 65 cases they assigned you for the month. Vacation time is denied due to the high caseload (which isn't the employees fault) and you can not trust anyone here even remotely. This is a scary place to be and I urge you to stay away because there is so much misery in this office. – less

If you have nothing good to say, its best to say nothing at all
Principal Human Resources Analyst (Former Employee), Riverside, CA – February 23, 2013
Pros: great benefits and pay.
Cons: horrible management and lack of integrity, accountability.
Labor and employee relations constantly putting out fires; watching your back; taking blame for others mistakes;
Management was antiquated, and lacked ingenuity
Must be politically saavy;
Co workers couldn't trust; fearful and suppressed;
Taking knives out of your back and others; difficult coming in from an Ethics background into an environment that – more... was clueless.
I enjoyed absolutely nothing but the pay. – less

Making a difference at the end of the day, is very rewarding
Office Assistant III (Current Employee), Moreno Valley, Ca – February 14, 2013
Pros: flexability on breaks, and lunches
Cons: union issues
Arriving to work each morning varies everyday. We have many unexpected events with what children encounter overnight. It helps our department be more empathetic with families. Our goal is to keep families together and protect children from any harm. Co - workers are always ready to help each other out and drop whatever there doing to assit and comfort – more... children. The most difficult to see is when children are placed separately due to no room in Foster Homes, when they depart from seeing their parents after a visit. The most enjoyable part of the day that there is never no regrets and I gave it my all to the department. We continue to strive each day and make a difference. – less

Productive and relaxing place to work
Custodian (Former Employee), Riverside, CA – January 17, 2013
Pros: county employee month we always got sweat shirts or huddies with the county logo.
Cons: not having the proper equipment to work with.

Very productive work place with high stress levels
Children's Social Worker III (Former Employee), Hemet, CA – January 2, 2013
Pros: driving a company vehicle
Cons: always heavy workloads but no assistance
I overall enjoyed the type of work I did. The level of job performance was often stressful because of the amount of clients, regulations, and time constraints. Even with all of that I loved assisting families to overcome obstacles and to create a safe, loving environment for their children. Management was more regulation oriented that anything. I know – more... the strict regulations had to be followed but showing your employees consideration speaks volumns. The hardest part of my position was working so much overtime. Deadlines had to be met and children had to be seen. You did it and don't know how.

The job was what I truly wanted to do. I like assisting others and enjoyed the implicit rewards gained by doing so. – less

JohnP – April 15, 2013

Social worker at Riv County. Upper mgmt is out of touch and do NOT listen (or care much) for their employees. Too much worked is thrown on you with little to no training. Training provided when you begin but it is not focused on everyday life. My workload was incredible and expectations were insane and they expected you to perform the work. Some mgmt seem to understand but lots of supervisors did not care or too busy with kissing butt for their own promotion and did not care of cost. Pay is good, hours can suck, and stress comes along with job. I would look elsewhere. Riv County has a lot of cleaning up to do and they need to start with upper mgmt!!

Pros: flexible work schedule
Auditing is an out of the office transitioning from client to client, which I thoroughly enjoy, profession.

At Riverside County our management constantly implemented plans to increase efficiency and – more... productivity.
My co-workers worked well together on the team projects assigned, having diverse backgrounds and experience brought different views and ideas to our weekly staff meeting and brain storming sessions. The environment was relaxed and pleasant. – less
