Pros
My coworkers are other wonderful, mission-driven people who really enjoy working with and empowering student parents.
Cons
GH leadership has proved consistently more concerned with their external image than the feelings of their employees. While they conduct pulse surveys, they then ignore the results or inform us that our feelings are invalid. 15 employees have quit or been fired in less than 12 months, about 1/3 of the organization. High turnover is addressed by telling remaining employees to take on additional tasks for no pay. White women are promoted at a much faster rate than people of color. Leadership is employing intense anti-union tactics in an attempt to bust a good-faith union drive. Racist events are often swept under the rug and never addressed. Budget is divided unevenly based on which teams are preferred, and employees on different teams have incredibly disparate experiences. New office in Ivy City has led to multiple harassment incidents as employees walk to office, and we are told to "walk in pairs" as a response. Employees at a family-first organization cannot afford health insurance for their children, and multiple employees have children on Medicaid. Employees who ask for simple policy changes to benefit staff are deemed "uncooperative" and not "team players."
