Stay away!! Management is terrible
Police Officer (Current Employee) - Cincinnati, OH - August 3, 2021
Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away until management is changed. From hospital administration to police administration, they are self serving, brainless, spineless, and petty. They try to make every waking second of your life miserable with petty discipline, strict directives (over 300 issued in 4 years on top of strict policies), and review of cameras to watch what you do. Not to mention, if one person in the department makes them mad, they will change the entire work schedule for “coverage” just to make everyone’s lives difficult. We have had 3 schedule changes in 12 months, currently working 6 days in a row with rotating 2 days off for 4 weeks straight to only have 2 3 day weekends. Do yourself a favor and DONT WORK HERE
Pros
State benefits
Cons
Management is awful, no stability, write ups galore, awful hours, mandation galore

Waste of time
Information Technologist (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - July 13, 2021
It is a waste of time to work here. No promotion and there is a lot of favoritism. Management only cares about making themselves look good. Overall, it is the worst place to work.
Pros
Nothing any other company offers.
Cons
Management, lack of advancement, favoritism.

High turnover
Tax Examiner Associate (Former Employee) - Columbus, OH - July 12, 2021

Pros
Coffee club
Cons
Management and trainers

They DO NOT care about their staff. Overtime is horrendous. Not a safe working environment at all. If you like overtime it is for you. The white shirts are not professional

Great EMPLOYER To work for!
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - June 8, 2021
I started as a temp and kept applying until I got the position I wanted! Very hard to get in but nice to know you can move within different agencies.

Too much transition
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - OH - June 7, 2021
People come in and out because the pay is low, makes it hard for anything to be consistent. People are treated fairly only because they have to, not because it is the culture.

Stressfull environment
Correctional Officer (Former Employee) - Mansfield, OH - May 27, 2021
Working in a prison is very stressful. Plus is the staff always came to assistance and fast when you needed them. Staff can be worse than inmates. And management is worse than both

Great place to utilize education and skills
Industrial Hygienist (Current Employee) - Northwest, OH - May 20, 2021
It's been a great ride, but retirement is calling. The current senior management team needs to lose their fear of covid and let the field consultants return to the field instead of working remotely. It's hard to collect air and noise samples from an office...
Pros
Set your own schedule, visit multiple factories throughout the year
Cons
Senior leadership is a mess

Jobs at State of Ohio
Bad supervisors
Counselor (Former Employee) - Caldwell, OH - May 19, 2021
Would be a great place to work except most supervisors were terrible. They also had terrible promotion standards. They never promoted anyone who was qualified and deserved the promotion. They hired who they liked!
Pros
pay
Cons
Management kept taking benefits away on each contract

Always interesting
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - May 18, 2021
I work as a CSR for unemployment. It is fast paced. The training could be a lot more comprehensive. Supervisors are so so. The people I work with are wonderful.
Pros
Decent wages, great 401k, great co workers
Cons
Could use more upfront training, It seems most is on the job training and many supervisors dont want to help.

Not a division of the state you want to work in
Health Information Technician/Admissions (Former Employee) - Northcoast Northfield OH - May 17, 2021
Fast pace and pressured place to work. Don’t be forgetful or mgt will write you up. Management needs an overhaul, employees have to agree with management, if you don’t you’re on the radar and can get excluded from company related events.This can be a dangerous place to work, if assaulted by a patient instead of support being offered they want to know what could have been done to prevent the assault. Once you’re on the radar mgt can be petty for write ups and make the employee want to leave. A lot of good people have left.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Backstabbing, petty people. Weak union.

USED to be a great place to work
Therapeutic Program Worker (Former Employee) - Cambridge, OH - March 17, 2021
I work for CaDC for almost 4 years. When I first started, it was an amazing place to be. Very client focused and staff was supported and appreciated. In the 4 years I was employed with CaDC, we had 3 Superintendents. Great managers fired or asked to resign, demotions for unexplained reasons and one of the highest turn-over rates locally. Management lacked rapport with their staff and executives going outside boundaries with clients that would cause extreme behaviors. The pay is decent but its very high stress!
Pros
Good pay and benefits
Cons
Terribly short staff, lack of rapport from management, very dangerous clients and sometimes work environments.

Very Union vs Management
Correctional Officer (Former Employee) - Mansfield, OH - March 12, 2021
Union looks out for senior members and management looks out for themselves in most cases. You get the rare brass that remembered where they came from, the rest are very entitled
Pros
Pay
Cons
Stress
