Pros

Pay is not so bad and the job itself was enjoyable

Cons

Director does not have a background in the community he serves. Not very ethnically diverse, very high turn over rate, from what I know at least 11 people have quit within a 7 month time period. All the department meetings were about telling us the raise that we were NOT going to get. I was 7 months pregnant when they terminated me. I never received a write-up nor a verbal warning and was told that my "job performance" was the reason I was being let go, ironically it was 3 days before my 90 day probation before I was to recieve medical benefits. Shortly after that another employee left and said that they were completely shocked when they heard I was fired along with a few other people who did not see my termination coming. I would have filed a legal complaint and the only reason that I did not was because I did not want to stress and cause something wrong as it pertains to my pregnancy. Former employees who left before me urged me to file a legal complaint and said that they would make a statement on my behalf but I was too exhausted and pregnant to do so. I was devestated when I was fired because I LOVED my job and what I did and to prove that I really wanted this job I relocated myself from another state and took a 10k paycut just to join this place and to get fired not even 90 days later was tragic.They call themselves a "faith based" organization....who is their faith in? What they did to me and a few other people were just wrong and whomever they have "faith" in they will have to answer to them big time.

Pros

It was nice to work with families and a team

Cons

The supervisor was out most of the time. I had to request for additional support because it wasn't being provided during my probation period.
