Pros

Getting to work with the homeless in needy in Colorado Springs is fantastic. You can see the lives that this organization is changing everyday.

Cons

The new CEO is unwilling and unable to hear from anyone who isn't on the board of directors or the executive team. The pay is awful and they were about to cut benefits when I left.

Great Mission, Poor Execution

Pros

The mission itself of providing, relief, rehabilitation and empowerment services to the poorest in Colorado Springs is a beautiful and necessary thing. You really have to believe in that mission in order to work there.

Cons

As an employee, prepare to be paid far less than market average for your position. They rarely promote from within, often overlooking employees who have been faithful and hardworking there for years, to bring in someone new, simply because they have a flashier resume. They cannot seem to decide exactly how they should run things, and with the high staff turnover, things are constantly changing. There never seemed to be an opportunity to get good at what we needed to get good at before we were adding a program or changing how we were running a program. There were meetings upon meetings upon meetings tat seemed useless. Leadership rarely asked what the front line workers thought before making changes, so they often made uninformed decisions. The Christian aspect of the organization was also an issue because some people were super religious and others were not, and it was easy to feel judged.
