Pros

Attracts people who are compassionate and bright. Can really make a difference in peoples lives and serve people who are often overlooked in care. VERY diverse work environment, welcomes people of all races, sexual orientation etc. Provides good vacation benefits.

Cons

Does not seem to appreciate employees especially if they question management. CEO is very disrespectful to employees, will berate them in front of their peers, or to their face. Have heard him call staff " lazy , ungrateful, stupid." and not privately in front of their peers. Does not play well with other non profits, or AIDS services organizations which can make it difficult to coordinate or use all the resources available to patients. . Has attitude of providers being disposable, cannot accomplish much if we do not have providers or staff. Thousands of patients currently without healthcare providers in LA. Is keeping patients and staff in the dark about staffing claims that it is due to providers wanting more money and can't compete because they are a nonprofit but somehow has money to put billboards in city to fund shame based marketing, force condoms in porn, lobbying and fight high rises in Hollywood. Marketing about sexual health is very shame based, we should focus on engaging patients in care not placing judgment on their sexual health practices.

Pros

A real sense that you’re doing something meaningful.

Cons

While the mission of the organization is admirable, the internal culture often undermined the work being done for vulnerable populations. Leadership turnover was constant, with management structures frequently changing and new supervisors appearing every few months. There were often multiple layers of management with unclear roles, creating confusion, competing priorities, and a workplace environment that felt more focused on internal politics than supporting staff. Many employees were deeply committed to the mission and routinely gave far more of themselves than was sustainable. I know I did. The workload and culture made it easy to lose any sense of work-life balance, and there was little meaningful support for the emotional toll of the work. What was most disheartening was watching an organization built to care for vulnerable people become, at times, one of the most difficult places for its own employees to feel valued and supported. The disconnect between the mission and the treatment of staff was significant. Several years later, I still recognize the impact that experience had on my professional confidence and overall well-being.
