Pros
I was at this company for four years. -usually hired local management within the company but no room to grow after one promotion. -flexibility of hours -can work from home at times -independent work structure
Cons
-The whole company is running due to the quality and quantity of the fieldwork community coordinators do yet they get paid the LEAST and get minimum thanks for their work. -Work is contract based. Contracts can end at anytime--job security is low -People often kept and promoted were not persons of color -No tuition assistance -Fieldwork: work outside in rain or snow or hail -Assistant Managers and Managers work over 60 hour weeks--little appreciation by upper management -Never invited to central office -CEO made comments that community coordinators are easily replaceable and low cost though CCs were the ones doing the actual work -upper management builds animosity between employees Clients -Get cursed and verbally abused by clients -Must work in dangerous environments: drugs, guns, violence Benefits & Others -poor healthcare options--very expensive, high deductibles, large co-pays, even more expensive for families. Could not afford to regularly get medical care despite the work we did in the company was to help others with their healthcare. How ironic. -In four years, I saw one bonus despite being promised more. The bonus was almost nonexistent as it did not even reflect the rising cost of living and healthcare prices went up the following year.
