Pros
Many of the staff are great to work with. Benefits and compensation are okay.
Cons
-EXTREMELY high turnover. The organization is almost unrecognizeable from a year ago. This is due to a combination of lay-offs, firings, and employees leaving. -Very inflexible scheduling for staff. -Different standards for management and staff. - Micromanaging and bureaucracy is rampant. It often feels that you aren't trusted with your own department. -Organizational change is happening so quickly, and with so little thought given. This has frustrated employees, left some without positions, and rendered many of the pre-existing programs useless. No consensus or direction on any level of the organization. -There is a huge separation, both physically and in communication, between administrative and program staff, meaning that decisions are made without a lot of basis of what things are actually like for clients, or for employees at the shelter.
