Pros

Helping people with civil rights issues.

Cons

Some of the executive team is violating the very law that DFEH is supposed to be enforcing. Favoritism in hiring and promoting rather than who is the most qualified. If the new Chief Deputy Director does not like you, then you are screwed. So much dishonesty and unethical behavior. So glad to be leaving this place. They treat their employees like crap. There are too many cases for the number of employees and it is poorly managed. Not worth the stress. Run for your lives (like a previous reviewer wrote) is right.

Pros

State benefits. Decent healthcare. Coworkers are awesome.

Cons

This is a very toxic work environment. The work is stressful. The deadlines are impossible. Executive leadership has no idea how to lead people. It’s sad because this is the largest civil rights dept in the nation but cannot do anything to help Californians against civil rights violations because it is run so inefficiently and in dictator mode. Many complainants who are harmed do not get a proper resolution. Might as well get rid of this dept and save taxpayer money because it is a huge waste. More like a complaint factory designed to close cases rather than legitimately evaluate and resolve harms. What a joke.
