Volume of work, high caseloads, taxing, mentally draining, unrealistic expectations of duties, lack of staff, high officer turn over.
Parole Officer (Current Employee) - Ohio - August 6, 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIt's a good job as far as pay, stability, health insurance dental and other benefits. The upper management are ignorant of all the extra duties that are performed behind the scenes and on a regular basis by employees. The high turnover rate and lack of qualified applicants is an indicator that many cannot handle this high, fast paced stressful job because there are better job opportunities out here that have fairer work to pay equivalency.
Pros
Hybrid work situation since Covid, flexible hours
Cons
Over worked, vacation/personal time you try and take for yourself, causes a work pile up, ongoing feeling of not being able to get caught up, policy makers and management create more work and responsibility, unfair balance of trying to handle it all, to be a responsible valuable employee.

Don’t bother
Correctional Officer (Current Employee) - Marion, OH - August 5, 2022
Horrible place to work. Management is only interested in what you can do for them. No work life balance. Plenty of overtime I’d you want it and most of the time even if you don’t want it you are forced to work overtime.

RN Clinical Care Coordinator (Current Employee) - Sandusky, OH - August 4, 2022
Poor management. A superintendent who tells staff to leave if they don’t like it there. An administrator who never speaks to nonmanagement employees and threatens to discipline staff if showers that weren’t done the day before aren’t done the next day.
Pros
Excellent pay and benefits
Cons
16 hour shifts!

Keep looking
Program Administrator II (Current Employee) - Ohio - August 3, 2022
No longer a premiere employer. They have managed to strip most of the benefits that made public service worth it. No direction under current administration.

You work for yourself
Dodd Provider (Current Employee) - Varies - July 2, 2022
Dodd provider with the state of Ohio/Medicare. I pick and choose my clients and my hours. I'm in charge of my own billing. You don't have health insurance that's the only downside

If you work hard, you can advance quickly.
Corrections (Current Employee) - Toledo, OH - June 27, 2022
Corrections is a thankless, yet critical job. You protect the public from incarcerated people by keeping them inside the walls and ensuring they complete the sentence imposed upon them by the court. It is a high stress job, but you are paid very well. As much overtime as you can handle!

Gov paid job.
Maintenance (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - June 21, 2022
I would not work here again due to the fact you are just a number. They view you as replaceable. The best part for me was when I left. Too many politics for me.

what you make of it
Psychiatric/DD Nurse (Current Employee) - Ohio - June 12, 2022
Some are there for great pay, some are there to truly help the patient population. Busy depending on the unit acuity. Some management is supportive and understand we're all human, others are puppets and act like wardens. Overall friendly co-workers who makes the work day easier. Most enjoyable was knowing you made a difference for your patient(s).

Secure Job but Challenging
Parole Officer (Current Employee) - Cleveland, OH - May 1, 2022
The position is challenging dealing with convicted felons on parole - you need special communication skills to work in this field. However, if you can master that then this job is easy, fun, and the added benefit of government benefits and security is outmatched.
Pros
Hybrid Work Schedule (Remote & Field Based)
Cons
Safety Issues

Good pay and Benefits!
Therapeutic Program Worker (Former Employee) - Mount Vernon, OH - April 14, 2022
Great place to work if you have a good work ethic. Many jobs these days have negative reviews because the person is lazy and wants a handout. A job is what you make of it. go to work, perform a task, get compensated and live a good life. Don't complain when management ask you to earn your money by working! that's what you are there to do!
