Pros

Benefits are very good for employees, and adequate for family members. The culture of the company is very focused on the mission, and the leadership is looking for ways to expand our services to parts of town which need it.

Cons

Depending on the social services department, there may be limited room for promotions. There is plenty of room for personal growth and you can sometimes make your own position, but it take a lot of personal initiative.

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.
