Pros

The mission is worth going into the nonprofit, helping the team I supervise is the reason I get up in the morning. Absolutely like what I do and at times love it.

Cons

The pay is not what the industry calls for even though contract are costed well. It appears the company does not recruit for higher position internally, which kills morale of the team that gets the job done and keeps the lights on. No promise of advancement to leadership position for managers working in the field. Regardless of how hard you work or how many other position you cover in times of need. Recognition comes slow for job well done and are nothing more than a small bump in pay. But they act like it’s going to break the company. The only reason I am still there is my team.

Pros

I enjoyed my customer service work - helping people as a part of a larger mission to help the community. I found it rewarding to advance to supervisor and pick up new skills and responsibilities such as safety auditing and supply management. And of course it was always interesting to sort all the interesting and unique donated goods.

Cons

A change in management over the past year+ has been very difficult for me. I found my work more heavily scrutinized and criticized in ways that felt unclear and unfair. The new manager had a clear bias towards certain employees, gossiped openly and loudly and often with explicit HIPAA violations, and made it literally impossible for me to keep track of inventory supplies as a part of my responsibilities. Communication between management and associates - and even between management and supervisors is very poor. Workplace culture has seemed to shift from being very flexible and people-oriented to more stringent on policy and focused on revenue. Trust in upper management is strained. Day to day if you stick to your task and focus on production, you'll probably do well. But for me it isn't what it used to be.
