Pros

Great atmosphere, benefits, pension. Some of the leadership are great

Cons

Change definitely needs to happen within the leadership. Times have changed and there should be opportunities for younger, different opinions and leadership styles. Very poor coaching, communication between departments and directors. Does not set you up for success

Pros

The work is very rewarding

Cons

I have never worked for such a horrible boss. There are great programs and staff that work hard for the community, but there is definitely rot in areas of this organization. When I stood up for myself and fellow staff, not only did they try to hush me as soon as the words left my mouth, but they created outright lies, denied any wrongdoing and spun it, coming at me as though I was a bug that needed to be squashed. It seems reputation and ego is everything to them, and instead of confronting and investigating internal issues, the answer is to fire any and all staff that expose unsettling internal treatment of their employees. I definitely did not expect this from an agency that is supposed to serve the vulnerable. I guess that doesn't include lower-level staff. They seemed to put a lot of effort into making me feel small and insignificant, and implement abusive strategies when I'd try to stand up for myself. I truly cherished my coworkers and the work I did, and am still in shock by the negative outcome with ACS. Be careful, and trust your gut.

Pros

People who care about food justice, food security, and the community of Abbotsford; good benefits; good working hours and flexibility.

Cons

Leadership does not follow through. Leadership is not supportive. Head agency does not support program as the program asks and requires. Lack of acknowledgement towards staff. Hiring is a very slow process. Very high turnover rate. Often short staffed. The building is very poor and causes harm to staff, volunteers, and visitors (steep hill, lack of space, etc.).
