Pros

fellow staff were deeply emotionally invested in the work and truly support the mission of the organization

Cons

leadership was suffering from founder's syndrome; possibly illegal pay rates (paid once per month) which forced staff to struggle financially; no bonuses and/or pay increases were below the COL increase for the region. Poor benefits and overall staff support leading to high staff turnover; in my short time there we cycled through turnover in every single educator role, sometimes multiple times per year for the same role. Senior management reacted punitively to disability disclosure.

Pros

Really impactful work and the youth love gardening

Cons

Changes in structure of the organization so higher-ups were not always there to help; also many programs running at the same time so they are always busy
