Pros

You'll receive your paycheck in a timely manner. You'll meet nice colleagues when permitted to interact with them.

Cons

1) It is necessary to maintain a mental health support person(s) during your employment tenure as you will experience the landmines of workplace toxicity, management (cognitive) dissonance, and symptomology of BPD, OCD, and GAD from those in C-suite. 2) Be mindful of your interactions with peers as managers view frequency of small talk as a threat to employee morale. 3) Employee transparency is requested but penalized if utilized. 4) Speculation that managers review employee emails

Pros

Serving the community, dedicated staff.

Cons

Nobody to help. There is no HR department. If you’d like to discuss concerns with management you can file a grievance that goes to Miriam’s inbox. Or be told “you’ll have to discuss this with them eventually.” Staff are put in charge of calling out management instead of Miriam or the board. Staff are talked about as disposable beings. “They’ll be gone soon.” “They knew their time was coming.” It’s just a difficult work environment because nobody feels safe in their jobs because employees are dropping like flies. Half a dozen fired this year. But they’re just cleaning up I guess.
