Pros

Meaningful work, solid professional development stipend, positive and supportive relationships among direct service staff. Excellent experience working with diverse clients, and freedom to deliver services without being constrained by one standardized model or approach.

Cons

Disorganized, top-down and authoritarian management styles from CEO and upper management, priorities of the board of directors often feel divorced from the on-the-ground service delivery and the day-to-day challenges employees face in crisis settings. Extremely low pay for positions that require a minimum of a masters degree, with periodic raises that don't even keep up with inflation.

Pros

Working with DV/SA clients in the shelters. Really excellent co-workers.

Cons

Upper management is inconsistent and they do not advocate for the staff. Work Life Balance is poor. Advocates are called in to cover shifts because of the turnover rate, which is high due to mismanagement from the VP and up level.
