Pros

You get joy from doing work that helps those in need and the community. There is lots of room for growth within the organization. Heavy work loads, but it is rewarding. Company gatherings are nice, employee recognition and gift cards for various years of service are given.

Cons

Underpaid employees. No adequate training sessions - it's more learn as you go and learn from your mistakes type of training. Leadership is tight nit and clicky. Leadership tend to have unrealistic expectations at times. Judgmental leadership. Adults in leadership should not be childish.

Pros

MCFI is an organization dedicated to serving others. The people who work there are passionate about what they do. Everyone gives 200% on a daily basis. If you are looking to join an organization that is proud to serve people with special needs - this is it!! Management style varries from area to area, and so does job satisfaction. Be sure to ask questions to determine the style of management the manager prefers and whether or not it matches what you are looking for; as with anywhere that simple step will take you far.

Cons

Communication is lacking, esspecially in respect to change within the organization. As with any nonprofit, wages are below what you might find elsewhere.
