Pros

-Subsidized ORCA card -Good health insurance -Caseworkers and on the ground staff are absolutely wonderful and committed to DESC's mission -Opportunities to cross train

Cons

-Management is fine sweeping issues under the rug even if they're safety issues and ethical issues -You will go unheard if you reach out to management repeatedly about concerns -Management flips the script on whistleblowers and retaliates -Management would rather protect an age protected class versus trans individuals reporting safety issues/different set of work expectations -Management in my experience did not offer resources or offer to connect me to HR when I had been asking for support from my supervisor for months -Management did not provide resources when after months of me asking for support (a coworker in an age protected class then went on to attempt to get physical with me) nor did they connect me to HR or check in with me at all -Management will make you out to be the problem after their months of neglecting serious issues at hand begin to fester -Completely different set of expectations for trans/non cis male workers versus expectations for cis males at least in my experience/department -Will not collaborate with staff when it comes to serious concerns and issues

Pros

Pay and benefits are great, a lot of pto.

Cons

Not a great company for POC in leadership roles. You will also receive very little support from higher ups, and must manage heavy emotionally taxing days with KPIS.
