Pros

The work supporting local legal aid was really inspiring.

Cons

I keep seeing job announcements for the same positions here over and over again. None of the same staff are still there since I left except the Executive Director. Clearly nothing about the toxic work environment has changed. The Executive Director is one of the most demeaning and abusive bosses I have ever had the misfortune to work for. She would openly mock employees and make outrageous demands on your time but was always careful to do this when only other people under her were around so she would not be held accountable. Don't let the job announcements fool you - there is no work/life balance here under her leadership.

Pros

The building is in a nice location, the multi-use work space is a bonus.

Cons

Although not obvious on the surface, the work environment is toxic. I was a new employee and was blantantly being talked about in a passive aggressive way by other employees. The other reviews are correct in that there is no room for mistakes, and it causes others to be tense, uptight and highly judgemental. The Executive Director's attitude seems to set the tone for the office, and by no means in a good way . On my first day, the first words out her mouth after we were introduced was "Where did we get you from?" not a hello, how are you etc... It was very off putting.
