Pros

Alot of dedicated and professional staff members working in a very challenging environment with homeless people

Cons

The organisation is very top heavy and has changed its model of management in recent years from a community based charity to a buisness model with little compassion or empathy for staff members. Very little flexibility for staff members and big differences in salaries of management compared front line staff. Recently refused all parental leave of employees citing a staff shotage. Very low staff morale. Salaries have reduced for all new staff members entering the organisation.
