A good place to work, but not a career.

Family Specialist (Current Employee) – Mineola, NY – April 13, 2018

The agency provides numerous benefits to it's employees, and the culture is very accommodative and positive. The only real gripe I have with my specific program (PINS Diversion), is that there is little long lasting incentive to stay in the program. There are not raises, and because of the size of the program, there is little room for advancement. Although the agency is overall pretty remarkable, these positions seem to be starter jobs for those looking to become licensed and then move on.

In short, great place to work, great pay for what I'd consider an entry level job, but little opportunity for advancement so there is not too much incentive to remain a long term employee.

The population we serve is great but I often feel unappreciated.

Respite Counselor (Current Employee) – Garden City, NY – January 4, 2018

I often feel like the clients matter more than the employees. I feel like I do a lot for the agency and I am not supported or helped in advancing myself within the agency.

Tight knit community

Moving in the Right Direction

Case Manager (Current Employee) – Nassau County, NY – April 27, 2017

Most of upper management has turned over in the last 3 years and the new leaders of the organization are working hard to modernize operations and bring in new programs. Lots of good energy throughout the agency. Previous negative comments about HR no longer apply. HR Director is new and staff are very friendly and helpful. Employee concerns are addressed in fair and professional way. Salaries could be better but as expected for non-profit sector. Many recent promotions from within the employee ranks. Excellent training opportunities.

Research the Organization thoroughly before applying here.

worker (Former Employee) – Mineola, NY – January 7, 2016

People with very good credentials are immediately treated as suspicious in making recommendations. They are not looking to truly improve the working environment even though they will tell you that on the interview. Salaries are very low as is the moral.

Cons

Healthcare is not acceptable, waste of time if looking to work with this company.

A family environment

Case Planner (Former Employee) – Hempstead, NY – May 4, 2015

Preventive services gave me the opportunity to learn about so many different areas of social work. It was great to create service plans with families and see the success when they achieved their goals. Family Ties really is a family unto itself, with supportive supervisors and colleagues who are always ready to help you out.

FCA rocks

Great Organization

Respite Counselor (Former Employee) – Hempstead, NY – March 24, 2015

As a Respite Worker for Family and Children's Association, I was required to pick student up from their homes and take them out into the community to show them what resources are available to them. I helped them with problem solving/conflict management, and facilitated group activities and interactions among clients. I learned a lot from my supervisor and a lot about mood disorders as well as other mental health issues. The hardest part of the job was watching clients struggle. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to make a difference in the life of children.

Pros

good work environment, good clients

Cons

traveling, difficult cases
