Pros
Meeting so many wonderful women (and men) dedicated to helping unemployed women find their own strengths, their style, their assets, their voice and their confidence. The volunteers who come are just exceptional human beings and the staff are talented, big-hearted and hard working women.
Cons
Employees are NOT empowered, Human Resource policies are at the whim of each affiliate, "full-time with benefits" does not mean much, World Wide DFS offers no greater pool to empower their own workers with healthcare, bereavement, life insurance or retirement plans. Hard to write and talk about empowerment all day when you see fellow workers struggle to make their own lives work and get called out for questioning bad leadership decisions. High turn over is the result. Fiefdoms are not what this organization should be about!
