      Pros

      The mission is an awesome idea and much needed. People have definitely been helped but it depends on whether the shelter managers are bullies or good people.

      Cons

      Screaming at employees, racist name-calling, threats of physical violence. Bullies are everywhere and are encouraged. People behave in ways that would lead to lawsuits anywhere else. Rampant backstabbing, lies, and gossiping. Only the psychopaths -- and there are at least a few -- and the truly incompetent last more than 2 years. The number of people quitting every month is staggering. Plus they pay well below market rate and will burn you out with working afterhours. Seriously, just do yourself, your career, your friends, and your family a huge favor and keep away.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The mission is real, and you feel it every day. The work directly impacts people and families, which makes even the hard days feel worthwhile. As someone in marketing, it’s meaningful to tell stories that are honest, urgent, and grounded in real outcomes, not just theory or aspirations.

      Cons

      The work can be emotionally heavy at times, and the pace can move fast when urgent needs come up. You have to be comfortable adjusting on the fly. It’s not always easy, but most people here care deeply about the mission, which makes the challenge feel shared rather than isolating.
