A strong and sound organization that stands out among the rest with a unique mission and a great culture!
Pros
While I am new to the Better Together team (joined in September 2024), I have followed BT since 2019 and had the opportunity to work alongside leadership during hurricane response in 2022 and 2023. This organization has a unique mission and sets itself apart from most nonprofits. The organization utilizes EOS to ensure strong accountability from the board down to frontline team members, to create a faith-based and supportive culture, and successful outcomes for families. The nature of the work is really hard because we serve very vulnerable families so it's not for everyone, but I have found my fellow team members and leadership to be very supportive of difficult cases and brainstorming and helping ensure a good work/life balance. Compared to many nonprofits the organize is financially sound and leadership is smart and driven to empower families!
Cons
It is a completely remote organization with no physical buildings so adjusting to a remote environment is a challenge for some. Working in any social services organization is hard and hours can go beyond the regular 8-5 hours but that is a part of working in social services. The organization does allow team members to adjust schedules to accommodate for hours worked at night and on weekends.
