Pros

Other than the CEO, the staff was a joy to work with. Smart, kind, committed people who deeply cared about civil legal aid. It was also great working with the community of civil legal aid providers.

Cons

The Executive Director lacks empathy and emotional intelligence. She is devoid of compassion and has created an environment in which great people become anxious and overworked. The staff keeps turning over, and the Board is too weak to acknowledge the problems.

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.
