Child Welfare Specialist in Waukegan, IL

on March 19, 2023

Important work but poor leadership

After over a decade of working for IL DCFS in Waukegan, I can say that the work is fulfilling and important. The direct service staff really do care about the families they serve and want to make a difference however, the egos and poor leadership skills of management in the Waukegan office create a hostile work environment and cause for chronic high turnover.

Good pay terrible management

This is a stressful job that's made almost unmanageable by poor supervision. This job feels fulfilling only 30% of the time. Good pay and benefits. You'd think that public service administrators who have decades of experience would be knowledgeable about the department but it appears to be the opposite.

Stressful but doable

This position is what you make it. If you are good at time management and organized it is doable and rewarding if not it can be stressful. Helping children and families is rewarding

Day Care Licensing Representative and Child Protection Specialist in Mount Vernon, IL

on October 20, 2022

I loved my job and worked hard at it. I knew kids lives depended on it.

You have to work and understand that every day will be different and likely unpredictable. You have to be patient and be assertive all at the same time. Be on your toes. Be willing to think outside the box. Not expect to be hand held. It’s a rewarding job but it’s a job that you have to work hard at every day for the benefit of the kids safety and welfare. Retired in 2015.
