Cons
Leadership is horrible—and not just horrible leaders but horrible people. When I say leadership, I don't mean every single director and I don't mean managers. Specifically, I'm referring to those who oversee directors/are the top dogs in charge. They don't care about their employees—who they treat as disposable. They act like they know everything about everything and refuse to take advice from others. They refuse to acknowledge any issues outside the realm of sheltering and have asked that employees do not concern themselves with issues outside of sheltering. If you don't dedicate your entire life to the organization, they don't have a good opinion of you. If you address issues that you have with the organization, you are placing a target on your back. APA! leadership is ruining what should be an incredibly fulfilling experience by creating an increasingly toxic environment.
