Pros

Great people work there trying to hang on as long as they can. This place has great retirement benefits.

Cons

The Executive Director is not reasonable. She makes it clear you are not allowed to speak to each other at work. She will say she's on vacation, then show up to make sure everyone is doing their job. She is a micro-manager who wants to make sure you know at all times, you are replaceable. It's a terrible work environment. It feels like you're working in a Morgue.

Pros

Lots of talented and amazing people. The culture ha shifted since the bad reviews of 2019. Employees feel more valued and are more involved. Micromanagement has gone away. Salaries are competitive and the benefits are very good. Turnover is substantially lower.

Cons

It is a small organization so the opportunities for growth are limited. The company is willing to invest in employees, but employees need to take some initiative and want to improve their skills and training.
