Pros
DCC is a nonprofit org in mental health sector. It has been there for over half century with a solid foundation built by previous executive teams and board. The office is located in downtown, so the transportation is convenient. The benefits are good (but employees have to pay 50%).
Cons
DCC’s wages (salaries) for frontline workers are competitive within the market, but the market rates themselves are low. The wages for non-frontline positions are even lower. The employee turnover rate is high for both frontline and non-frontline staff. The management team is dysfunctional. While DCC’s core values emphasize preventing mental crises and suicide, many employees, particularly those in management, appear to be very depressed, tired, numb, and down. Although management emphasizes “care” for people, this care is more often discussed in meetings than translated into monetary or other tangible support for employees.
