Pros

Strong, caring, transparent leadership. Amazing cutting edge programs. Competitive salaries and good benefits.

Cons

Like all companies in this industry, MCD is going through difficult times as the Trump Administration slashes funding for programs serving those in need, both internationally and domestically. Fortunately, MCD's funding base is a bit more diverse than many of its peers, but there is no question that MCD is being negatively impacted. MCD has had to cut or reduce programs, staff and benefits.

Pros

Mission-driven organization with a strong commitment to public health in Maine and beyond Supportive team culture and opportunities for internal advancement (I was promoted from within) Transparent leadership that communicates openly, even during difficult transitions MCD has a very competitive suite of benefits, far exceeding that of the state and many other nonprofit organizations, reflecting a strong commitment to staff well-being Flexible work environment with hybrid/remote options

Cons

Recent changes in benefits and staffing have been difficult for some staff, particularly those contracted through state programs These changes at MCD have been largely driven by external factors. Like much of the public health field right now, many aspects of the work remain uncertain and in flux Professional development and wellness reimbursements were suspended, though leadership has expressed a clear intent to reinstate them when possible Broader challenges in the public health sector are impacting morale across the field

Pros

Great way to get your feet in the door for PH work in Maine

Cons

Salaries are low, even by Maine PH standards. This company was great until they cut the employees benefits. The CEO told people who were concerned about their benefits being cut could happily leave. MCD mismanaged their money and is taking it out on the contracted employees not the leadership They took away Vacations and Sick time (both of which I had over 200 hours of and they did not pay us out for) and instead are only giving us 80 hours a year. They blamed sick people and people who attended funerals at our meeting. They cut the employee wellness reimbursement and professional development. ($1000) They plan to increase the employees contribution to insurance and decrease our retirement benefits . Biggest issue currently with them is how they handled this all. 11:30PM notifications without having staff meetings. More than a week later they shut down meeting for staff to ask questions because they did not like the question. The CEO, CS, openly and angrily said, if you don't like these changes, quit.

Thank you for providing your perspective and the impact of recent decisions on employees. This has been a particularly challenging time for our sector. MCD - like many similar organizations - has experienced some substantial changes that require us to manage unpredictability, adjust rapidly, and make tough decisions. We are committed to addressing employee concerns and continue to learn as we move forward. We hope the changes we made are temporary and will continue to evaluate the situation. If you have any questions or further discussion, please don't hesitate to reach out to HR.
