Pros

They pay a little above average

Cons

Where to start? Only supervisors and above get work/life balance. While a higher-ups do their nails, hair, go to all kinds of personal appointments on company time, SOME (the ones that are not favorites) of the lowest ranking employees have to account for every minute of their work day. They’ll bully, gaslight, overwork and micromanage you. It’s like being in an abusive relationship with a narcissist, which is very ironic since it’s a non-profit “trying to” end domestic violence. In regards to the clients they help, they mostly help entitled people who constantly break rules and abuse employees. But if they’re a minority, they’ll kick them out as soon as possible. The racism against clients and employees is rampant. You can’t go to HR, because you’ll be bullied and gaslighted with a smile. Management gets away with everything. And they’ll encourage you to speak your mind, only to do everything in their power to get rid of you if you call them out. They have lost many great employees to some of the awful people they have in management. And if you’re related or friends with higher ups, you’ll get opportunities and privileges that other employees don’t. They’re a non-profit, yet everything is about money. Turnover rate is extremely high for such a small organization, yet they are not willing to listen to suggestions. They lost 1/4 of their employees in a matter of months.

Pros

Some managers are really amazing, they care about their employees, and they know how to balance the good of the organization against the good of the individual. Benefits package is pretty stellar

Cons

1. Inter-office politics and back biting abound unnecessarily. 2. Upper management engages in subterfuge and doesn't communicate openly about employee performance or organization’s direction. 3. If upper management does communicate about employee or program performance, it is EXTREMELY passive-aggressive 4. Because performance reviews are not a thing for this organization, employees have been fired without knowing about performance issues. 5. There is more than one Executive Director, whether they'll admit it or not. Previous ED "retired", but she still exerts considerable control. 6. There are no formal HR mechanisms in place to report issues or complaints 7. EXTREMELY high turnover rate, especially for a non-profit. Only 1/3 of employees from last year are still employed by the organization. 8. Honest, tactful feedback to management is not well received and may cause them to retaliate 9. Organization has no direction, even though they're building a colossal new facility 10. Plans and changes to programs are poorly thought out and poorly executed which makes some programs exceptionally inefficient or useless which demoralizes the employees 11. Interim Executive Director has set into motion plans that she will not be there to complete 12. Employees, grunts, or peons, whatever you want to call them are regarded with extreme distrust. 13. Upper management enjoys excessively flexible scheduling, while they approach regular employees with a butts in seats mentality. You're only working if you're at work.
