Incredible Organization, Dedicated People

Pros

The founders are incredible, dedicated people that have devoted their lives to the service of others. Working at Mary House gives you the chance to make a real difference in people's lives. They also are open to you bringing in your own ideas and expertise to enrich their after-school program. The location is great, right next to the Metro's red line and the housing good.

Cons

Because it's a small team running the organization, you need to be ready to step into many roles. As the founders have been doing this for many years, there can occasionally be an assumption that you already will know how to do something. Ask questions and you'll be fine!

Pros

The children and families you work for are incredible and make your time at this organization rewarding. You are almost completely autonomous which makes creative programming possible. Your fellow staff members serve as an excellent support system.

Cons

Family Advocates are expected to do a case managers job though most who are hired are hired with the knowledge that they hold no case management experience. This would not be a problem if there was adequate training provided. However, training is minimal and supervision from/access to the supervisor is seldom and unpredictable. Supervisor tends to act on emotions and gut-feelings and not on a clear policy or guidelines. This makes already challenging work more difficult. In addition, there is no check and balances system in place, so discussions within the organization are often made without regard for others, including employees and families served.
