Not worth working here honestly

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE! They pretend to care about you but it’s all B.S. typical nonprofit toxicity. Always making things harder than they need to.

Pros

Impactful work with strong community connections.

Cons

Top heavy organization with leadership that is woefully out of touch. They would rather boost their own salaries(and bonuses) than help the employees who make less than a living wage. The employees who make less than a living wage actually do a majority of the work for the organization, while the leadership enjoys their $150k plus salaries, wfh, and won’t even know the names of the people who come and go building the playgrounds they continue to coast off of. They then struggle to understand their turnover rate (which in most cases is less than a year for lower level staff). Incredibly high expectations with incredibly poor training with a fake/insincere toxic leadership. People got in 10+ years ago, solidified a leadership position, and let down the younger generations of boomers. If you see this org hiring for the same position consistently there is a reason. Contact previous employees and get their input as well.
