Pros
History of advocating and caring for marginalized women, used to be a champion for peer rights and harm reduction, will meet great coworkers
Cons
Toxic toxic toxic, all the way to its roots. Serves a great need in the communtiy but the organization has gone thru way too much, All the best most dedicated workers are now gone, they were treated terribly. NOt a place if you're someone with integrity and lived experience. The union doesnt care about its peer workers (left them behind) creating the very system you're trying to fight against. Coworkers ultimately give into the toxicity through gossip and negative interactions that will leave you scratching your head. There are the best of staff (most of them gone) and the ones who have no idea what they're doing, and all this impacts service delivery. It is a system based on profit (for those in power) over people. You will not find opportunities to truly grow and move forward here. Cause there's always a fire.
