Stressful environmental
This company has the worst management I have ever experienced in all of my working life. There's a lot of backstabbing passive aggressive staff management has your opportunity to throw you under the bus they will
A joke
I started out here really hopeful that this would be a job I would want to be at for a long time. But quickly came to realize that clackamas county management is a joke. The management team is a huge clique, with very very close relationships outside of working. This gets in the way of trying to get anything done in the group homes.
