Pros
This organization does incredible work in the DTES community and beyond. They are committed to created a space that is welcoming, patient and supportive of all participants that fit the WISH mandate. This was my first mental health related job and kicked off my career that ultimately landed me as a social worker. I have great appreciation for the support managers, the floor team and participants provided for one another.
Cons
The pay has since increased, however while I was employed I found that the pay did not reflect the level of work required. Further, as usual in front line work, there was a very high volume of turn over and this at times made the work feel uneasy and workers not properly supported. Further, on many occasions, the shifts were understaffed.

Pros
I can't really think of anything much except a few nice coworkers who unfortunately got fired in the end.
Cons
1- The Management is EXTREMELY controlling with at least 5 managers hovering around while you're trying to do your job dealing with a tricky group of people who is extremely demanding. 2- Exteme favoritism of Management in terms of certain people ending up getting more shifts. 3- Poor hygiene as money usually goes to Directors so we end up with little pay for necessities. 4- You can easily get sacked all it takes is someone make up a story about you and if they don't like you they'll let you go so it's kind of like Walmart.
