Pros
-Strong organizing model that clearly creates change in individual lives, families, communities, and broader policy -Success of model is leading to scaled up efforts- the organization is growing and so is its impact -Good benefits package- medical, dental, PTO, holidays, Short-term disability, etc. -Culture encourages self-care- management tries to work with staff to limit excessive hours -Great opportunities to build strong relationships with community members -Kind and friendly staff of hard-working people who care about their work, the community, and people
Cons
-Although management tries to work with staff to minimize excessive hours, there is so much work to be done that staff often feel compelled to work beyond required hours -Lack of communication between management and staff that can cause staff to feel unheard or unimportant -Inadequate supervision in some departments leading to inability to accurately evaluate and assess staff performance and provide evidence supporting raises and promotions -As with most nonprofits, staff is often asked and expected to fill multiple roles/ positions in the organization- since organization is growing, management is working to hire staff to meet growing organizational needs
