Pros

Well regarded nonprofit has a strong presence in the community; offers a lot of support and training to people looking for work and job opportunities for people who might otherwise have trouble getting hired. They give people a chance.

Cons

Salary and benefits are a bit below average; some arbitrary decisions have been made by the leadership while employees are sometimes not given adequate information. The required "safety meetings" were a joke, and some of the trainings were not very useful.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
