Pros

The employees were/are excellent at their jobs and excellent humans. They are the reason that place is excellent.

Cons

Management was abusive and toxic for years - as known by the board who did not stop the abuse or protect employees in a timely manner. Unfortunately like many nonprofits, CF is run with almost no checks and balances allowing tyrannical and abusive behavior to survive and thrive. Thankfully, one of two abusive leaders has been replaced. No comment on this new leadership. Additionally, many employees are vastly underpaid and expected to accept poor compensation to "take one for the team" bc it's a nonprofit. Meanwhile, upper leadership is paid exorbitantly.

Pros

Nice environment people were pretty nice too. Beautiful library and convenient. It's a non-profit organization as well even celebs know about it. If you work there you get free food and stuff from the Cafe.

Cons

Both head and assistant manager were fake and they said ton of things in an unprofessional manner. Sometime people would just enter without membership.
