Hennepin County Employer Reviews

They are a good company to work for but are limited to what you are able to do in terms of moving up.

CEO is terrible--has no vision or clue how to manage people or a business. Nearly all of her directors left to other organizations because of her lack of direction and poor management. This organization is all about clicks and who you know not what you know. I would not recommend working for this organization. I can't tell you how happy I am getting – more... out and moving on. This is not a Health Plan it is a Government Unit. – less

my department supervisor at Metropolitan was terrible. No advancement opportunities

Similar to other county work

Management tries to connect with line staff

I worked for Hennepin County Financial Assistance, Ramar Building for three years during the 1980s and it was a horrible, denigrating experience. I was a "financial worker" as the county called its employees, and worked on a cramped office that contained 125 persons-- it was awful. My unit contained 14 employees and had two job share supervisors and – more... these two would cause untold problems. They took great pleasure in giving "written notices" for the slightest infractions and were generally miserable people. I cannot emphasize the enormity of the misery which we had to endure. They would even penalize you for working overtime. – less

Typical day was with employees and customers!! Lots of people from all cultures to meet!

A typical day at the County was working to stay motivated, you have some employees that are consistant, steady, dedicated and take pride in doing a correct and timely job. Then you got other employees that are the exact opposite, lazy, unmotivated, don't care, sloppy work or no work, the balance on a day to day basis is difficult to stay motivated, – more... it makes seems like the motivated employees are doing the work for their lazy co-workers and everyone get paid on the same day. – less

As an extern I learned so much observing and working with Judge Howard.

Very strong support to build programs that serve county residents in creative ways.

I learned a lot at this company, my skill set was increased. Management was willing to teach you things you may not have known. I loved that the company was willing to train.

Conducted orientation sessions to familiarize participants with program rules and regulations.
Maintained client record participant, updated profiles such as names, date of visit, and Provided interpreter service and culture specific information to various immigrant populations.

Wonderful, caring, empathetic management. The staff I worked with day to day were so dedicated to providing healthcare to the families in the homeless shelter. I might still be there if I had not moved. It was hard to leave...
