Pros
The mid- to lower-level staff are wonderful people. They are incredibly smart and passionate about the work they do. They form strong bonds with one another and with clients.
Cons
The new CEO (Niketa Sheth) is extremely despotic and disingenuous. The directors are authoritarian and manipulative. The associate directors are powerless to act. The management is destroying the staff and agency.

Pros
The organization is very focused on the mission of ending gender-based violence, as well as working to fight other injustices that impact other marginalized communities. If you care about truly working on behalf of communities this is a great place to work.
Cons
The pay doesn't increase as fast as I would like to see. Though I have to be honest and say I've seen multiple raises given over the years. This is a nonprofit issue in general.
The job was meaningful, the office was great, work boundary was good, and everyone there was nice and supportive. I like my coworkers and supervisor.
Cons
It's hard to survive in NY with the entry level salary but it's better than a lot of similar positions in the market. Also, you can get very busy once the caseloads build up and 8 hours is not enough for finishing all the work.
