Pros
The employees found are amazing people and very welcoming to new staff. There was a lot of "believe in yourself" moments which was so valuable to my career. My role also allowed me to learn how to handle difficult situations and personalities. The staff retreats are nice and much appreciated.
Cons
Though heavily staffed on the female side and run by women - I really feel like men with less experience are paid more than women with more experience which is sad. I believe graduates are recruited because they do not have the real life work experience and it is taken advantage of by management. I believe some staff are forced to work ridiculous hours and are not compensated because everyone is on salary. Communication with staff is poor and secretive. There is no effort to keep good people. Salaries and Benefits are not competitive to other non-profits in the area.
