Pros

•you create your schedule as long as you get all of your work done •truly helping families and making a difference with each visit

Cons

•limited ability for growth, will not give consistent pay increases or raises •if you ask for a raise, they’ll say no •you work year round (not a standard school year) and get paid significantly less than you should - compensation is NOT competitive •they do not make individuals feel valued or wanted. They have a mentality that everyone is replaceable and you can feel it. •High staff turnover •unlimited self care time is not as straight forward as it seems - you must make up for your time off with clients and families, so you’re working double the week before or after taking time off •leadership is out of touch and doesn’t know day the day happenings within the organization

Pros

Work/Life balance and ample time off was wonderful. Organizational culture overall good. Employees respect one another and collaborate well working together. But, the staff are what made the job the biggest highlight of my day.

Cons

Not too many, honestly. But, an Unyielding lack of management skills, support and encouragement. Office politics, management employee favorites with clear and present "in your face" white privilege undercurrents at its finest, made it hard to want to stay. Once managers want you out, they will absolutely stop at nothing to make it happen. Organizational culture climate began to shift, but not for the better. So, If one is not flexible enough to roll with the punches, the passive aggressiveness, and the lack of support from your management team, then please, do not work here.

Wonderful colleagues, frustrating leadership

Pros

- built strong relationships with coworkers - opportunities to collaborate outside my discipline - flexible and self-directed schedule - continuing education stipend

Cons

- low salary, ultimately unsustainable - leadership was not all on the same page, and often did not have answers when I asked straight forward policy questions - opaque and vague responses to questions about compensation and time off benefits - very unnecessary and tedious all staff meetings multiple times a year
