Pros

What they can do with and for people that need help. Many are in need and this company is all over Ct, so it is them or no one, kind of. They could do so much more good for people.

Cons

Upper management does not see what is going on. They are in their own world and don't care. No job is safe and cut throat managers look like the only who survive, and they treat their employees really bad too. They believe in management by threats of your job and quick firings to back up what they say. Many employees try to work hard, or complain, but no one cares to listen. Just look at how many employees quit, not just how many are fired.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
