Pros
The work I've done there is incredibly rewarding. It was a great feeling when I was able to make somewhat of difference in someones life. Built very good relationships and most staff is very supportive of one another.
Cons
Everything. I would have stayed at Manavi if it weren't for the terrible work conditions. Everyone who is put in charge becomes a micro manager. The co-founder and original boards who are associated with the organization are making it impossible for staff to stay. Constant degrading, being disrespected, unrealistic expectation with no guidance. People that are dedicated to ending violence against women should not be the abusers. Incredibly low staff moral and favoritism from "higher up" (YES there is TOTAL hierarchy) leads to conflicts and resentment among staff. There are no incentives and constant fear. A person should not be scared to come to work.
