Wouldn’t recommend it - Social Worker Children's Aid Employee Review

-lack of support in everything -bare minimum work life balance -arbitrary “random” audits from ACS -FAP expects you to work on weekends -corporate email CC the supervisor culture -zero onboarding -understaffed teams -massive workload -awful, condescending, and often grumpy IT dept (minus the lady at the front desk) There is next to no way you can have a regular life. Between ACS’ arbitrary deadlines, their random audits, and your supervisor’s expectations, you will work evenings whether it be at the office or at home. You will also find yourself needing to stretch your workload into Saturday at times. There is next to no consideration for this, rather it seems it’s expected. They treat everyone like a fresh foot soldier that can take on more work than necessary. The program parameters in themselves are a nuisance: if you have ten “clients” that means ten families. If each of those families has four kids, despite there being only one youth identified in need of services, you will work with every single child in the home. This means conducting surveys separately and ensuring you see EVERY kid EVERY month. The program itself can’t even keep up with ACS asks, as they keep changing the expectations and asking workers to go back into the field to connect with closed cases for something as subjective as a survey. I would not recommend this, to anyone, unless they’re paying for your masters.
