Health care; pay; flexible scheduling; ability to telecommute (working remotely); helping the people of Minnesota; paid holiday; accrued vacation/sick times; career opportunity and advancement; student loan forgiveness program/tuition reimbursement. It’s like trying to choose my favorite song. There are too many to choose.
Having excellent affordable health care and being able to make a positive difference in people's lives are the best.
Working directly with the people we serve at DHS means I can have the biggest impact possible.
Their system is outstanding, and the benefits are so good you almost won’t believe it. If you are ambitious, you can plot out a career advancement path with competitive wages and a pension to boot.
My first time working at a group home, I got to meet one of the residents. I had read through his file that he was a very friendly person who loved to meet new people and every once in a while he would say inappropriate things. He got home from work saw me sitting at the table and called me over with a big "Come 'ere a minute!" So I came over, introduced myself and asked how he was doing. He looked up at me and asked if he could have a hug. So I gave him a little side hug, and he looked up at me and yelled, "Now get back to work G—D-----!" After a brief silence, everyone had a good laugh and I got back to work as ordered. I’ve called him boss ever since.
