Pros

Great company, requires attention to detail dealing with children and parents / foster parents. Supervision is very good, can get time off if needed with notice.

Cons

Work load sometimes overwhelming, but rewarding. Pay increased this year but could be better. Need better health plan.

KVC Health Systems Response

Thanks for writing a review and for recommending working at KVC. We're glad you enjoy what you do transporting children in the Pittsburg, KS area! You mentioned that we need a better healthcare plan. KVC does offer a range of healthcare plans that are robust and highly competitive with other organizations. Here are a few reasons why we are proud of the healthcare plans we make available. (1 )KVC offers 3 medical plan options. Only 15% of like-size companies offer their employees 3 or more options. (2) KVC offers a $500 individual deductible medical option. Only 27% of surveyed employers offer a medical option with less than a $500 deductible. Our insurance broker has very few employer partners still offering a $500 deductible plan option. (3) KVC contributed over $500,000 last year to reduce the cost of health insurance for its employees. (4) KVC pays the full cost for employees' dental, life/AD&D, short-term disability and long-term disability coverage. This is very unique among employers. As you mentioned, we recently increased pay for employees who provide transportation. We will continue looking for ways to make KVC a great place to work and hope you will continue being part of the team for years to come!

Pros

KVC has been a rewarding place to work. I have a supportive supervisor, great coworkers, and genuinely enjoy the work I do. The team environment makes a big difference, especially in a setting that can be challenging at times.

Cons

This position definitely requires a strong, adaptable nurse due to the behavioral and psychiatric needs of the patients we care for, but it is meaningful work and has helped me grow both personally and professionally.

Pros

Culture has transformed dramatically from toxic to accountable, clear, and kind over a decade Strong leadership development (Gallup, Dare to Lead frameworks) Weekly 1:1 supervision means employees know their supervisors well Real internal mobility entry level to director is achievable based on work ethic Mission-driven workforce, people genuinely care about the kids and families they serve High retention most people want to stay and grow within, even when their current role isn't ideal, they will move positions to stay Respectful, psychologically safe environment all opinions welcome Excellent medical/dental/vision benefits; decent 403b match Positive social environment with systems that naturally filter out toxic behavior over time Competitive pay within the nonprofit/mental health sector

Cons

Pay is significantly below for-profit market rates. nonprofit pay scale is a real tradeoff Director role is highly unstructured can feel chaotic, especially in 24/7 locations requiring after-hours work Toxic employees can linger too long the kindness and grace extended to everyone delays removal Some employees stay in roles that aren't a good long-term fit simply because they love the culture Heavy meeting load at director level can crowd out focused, strategic work
