Pros

Good vacation, sick-time, health, dental benefits. You work with some really great people who are driven to make a difference in children's lives.

Cons

The mission is not being fulfilled when a majority of your employees live in poverty due to the extremely low pay that does not match up experience and education that is necessary to obtain certain jobs. There is no negotiating a raise even after 1-year put into a job so many leave after than 1 year mark and many before. Being understaffed is a constant. Additionally the "merit-based bonus" system is a joke and if you work hard enough to be promoted that year you are not eligible for a bonus. Some upper management are disrespectful towards employees which seriously needs to be looked at considering it doesn't match with our core values.

Pros

Some of my coworkers were nice.

Cons

Organizational leadership is incompetent and hired due to nepotism. The pay is very low, staff are not appreciated. The work is very challenging (working with students and families) and the leadership makes the work completely intolerable due to their incompetence and disdain for their staff. Over the years Christopher House hired many good people but always treats good employees terribly until they can no longer tolerate the poor treatment and leave.

There are so many wonderful people to greet.

Cons

Those who hold a stern working ethic should consider being more respectable.
