Pros

The participants and co workers. I loved my job and it was a great source of pride. Actually providing assistance and my coworkers coming together for particularity difficult clients is amazing.

Cons

Everything else that wasn't my job. Management mistrust of everyone. Mistreatment of staff. Dismissal of needs. Anger when questioned. Retaliation. Willingness to let participants suffer in order to push GW programs. No flexibility. At all. None. My child was in the hospital, but had to use PTO for my maternity leave so came back to zero PTO. So they really did not let me miss work. I had 4 people on my caseload and would never let them suffer. It was a power play. I was there for 14 years. So stressful and soul crushing. Not the work, but the management. Good people left and Good people ignored. New people promoted.

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.
