In my position as a Family Care Coordinator, working with families can be stressful. I was there for only a month before they gave me my first referral, and after that you get a new family about every week. Though there is shadowing, the pacing seems fast and that they kind of throw you into the work. I wish the pay was better. My pay is $44,000 and a $750 sign on bonus. Warning, you get the first half of the bonus at first check and the second half after 90 days, which they did not tell me about. When people think about nonprofits, they think about good benefits, but the PPO is $75/paycheck with a $6,000 deductible, which I think it pretty steep. I also think the documentation can be stressful as you have to document everything and complete a lot of paperwork when you first get started with a family. I also hear a couple employees talking about how much they work, and it sounds like they go beyond 40 hours in order to finish everything, which they don't get paid for as it's salary.
