Pros

The staff is very nice The mission of the organization is great Extra time off around the holidays Good insurance coverage

Cons

Lots of micromanaging The Sr. Director of Programs lives in Nebraska. She runs all programs that take place in IL. There is an enormous disconnect between expectations and the reality of programming. The program staff is the heart of the organization, and no matter what, they are told they are not doing enough. Pay is not great No matter the position you are hired for - Counselor, Dietitian, Manager - you will be planning and executing multiple events throughout the year. So you don't get to fully grow into your area of expertise because you are pulled in so many directions They claim to have a lot of opportunities for career growth and team development, but this is not accurate. They advertise a gym for staff in job descriptions but again, not accurate. You are love-bombed when you first start. Making you feel like you have just landed the best job in the world. Things will eventually change.

Pros

- The Mission (supporting people with cancer) - Health insurance and PTO is great - Opportunities to learn more about the cancer world - The patients - "Group supervision" is a great space offered to direct-service staff to deal with the ups and downs of the cancer world

Cons

- Leadership lacks self-awareness, empathy and understanding of those with direct-service to patients - Team issues were not handled professionally or appropriately (allowing staff that has been on for extensive time to mistreat newer/younger staff) - Pay - Extensive travel expectations to off-site locations (in unsafe areas) - Unreasonable expectations for class load, outreach, and travel - Expectations for team coverage were unrealistic (considering the amount of PTO given) - KPIs were prioritized over the mental well-being of the staff supporting patients - High turnover due to the care of staff
