Pros

The few opportunities to engage with different community groups who utilize HW for services or see it as an informational/educational safe space were rewarding. Also, getting to work with volunteers who were motivated by the overall cause was inspiring.

Cons

No genuine connection to the mission of the company. Overworked and underpaid without the resources to keep up with work demands. Upper management would rather work you into the ground and then replace you than make any meaningful changes that would make the workplace better. Communication with them was dismissed and immediately shut down.

Pros

Awesome benefits, especially time off and health insurance. I've been here 15+ years and have been able to move up in responsibility and salary. Admin works hard to take care of it's people and support us in career development and health and well-being. The staff including admin are a very caring and loving group of people and everyone I've worked with is passionately mission-driven in a way you don't often see.

Cons

Depending on your politics, it may be hard to fit in. VERY progressive crowd.
