Pros
The clients and you can make a big impact on their lives.
Cons
This place is just awful. The leadership is very incompetent: the highest turnover rates I have ever seen of ANY nonprofit and an organization close to bankruptcy, seriously clueless leadership. The senior leadership is also mean spirited, condescending, and despised throughout the entire organization. I have not met one single person who was happy or proud to work for this organization or respected the senior leadership- hence the abysmal turnover rates. The clinical direction is a joke, they say they are motivational interviewing, collaborative problem solving, trauma informed care, etc, but they are the exact opposite, they argue with clients all day long with raised voices and occasional shouting, and are mean spirited towards the clients behind the scenes; Staff meetings are basically an organized meeting to trash talk about clients. Serious cesspool of an organization. This is due again to the senior leadership who are mean spirited and condescending towards their employees... this is called parallel processing... in other words employees treat the clients the same way senior leadership treats them. Pay is ridiculously low, people with masters degrees making $13 an hour. Unfortunately there is no nobility to be gained or exchanged for under compensation as nobility is absent in this mess of an organization led by the ignoble.
