Pros

Some good people but don’t know why they stay.

Cons

This review is about the DC office and specifically the CEO Dr Estreet who has been in the job since 2/2023. As a social worker I am appalled that this org under his leadership has fallen so quickly and catastrophically into a toxic workplace. He is never there and his business decisions are harmful and disrespectful. I’m a leader of 30 years in this field and left as gracefully as I could upon meeting him and realizing that I could not in good consciousness work with this individual and cause harm to colleagues. Please look elsewhere. This membership org lacks direction and innovation and no longer aligns with SW values and our code.

Pros

This was one of the best internship experiences that I have ever had. You are filled with so much support from the staff. They want you to grow and they want you to learn whatever you need to learn to feel confident entering the job market. They are open to you helping with any task that they have on their agenda.

Cons

No cons honestly. It is mainly remote except for events and meetings which is something the keep in mind.

Pros

Salary was good (I negotiated at hiring) My team was great; I was lucky to be on a team of skilled and empathetic professionals.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere else where the morale was so consistently low. Do you love being depressed and listening to your coworkers complain about how miserable they are? Do you fear technology and prefer to do things the hard way? If not, do yourself a favor and give this place a HARD PASS. You might get lucky and work in one of the few teams that are sane and productive. If not, you will spin your wheels until you burn out or give up. It's got a great mission, but it's such a flawed workplace that it doesn't come place to living out its core values. HR at NASW treats employees horribly while ignoring ongoing complaints of bullying by managers (who get paid 6 figures). During my time there, I saw furloughs, layoffs, downsizing of the physical space, and a never-ending atrophying of the member base. Don't even think about jumping aboard this sinking ship!
