Pros

Line staff and clients are amazing. They pay well considering it is a non profit.

Cons

Executive team is corrupt- moving federal funds to cover over expenses. Budgets are always on the red. The executive director does not promote women or immigrants with strong accents- he's a xenophobe. His leadership team is majority white, and not representative of the community.

MEDA's finances are independently audited each year and those audits have shown no findings. We responsibly use the funds that are both donated and awarded to us through grant proposals.

Pros

You can move up if you want to play the game

Cons

Toxic leadership starting from the top. Piece of poop CEO that doesn’t connect with his staff and frequently butts heads with his employees, resulting in HR complaints that go nowhere. The place is far more concerned with their image than the impact. Misaligned goals mean coaches are burned out and constantly churned to do as much as possible without being properly trained. Tied to grants that have them focus on unrealistic goals for staff and dilute the impact of their work constantly. Recent layoffs asking most vulnerable staff to take pay cuts and lose benefits that probably could have prevented if CEO wasn’t paying himself 400k to go to conferences and inflate his ego. That’s what this place cares about though, not their work.
