Pros

everyone working at the ballard center genuinely believes in it. I loved going to ballard center events and learning more about the non profit world.

Cons

The only con was that i got a new manager (jess) and she made me cry. The I quit after only talking to her twice. She kept asking if I had trauma associated with design (i do not). And I told her that when she asked me that I felt weird and uncomfortable. It was so weird and then she became very hostile and pushy. I wouldn't recommend other designers work for her because besides the fact that she might ask you about your non existent trauma, she will make you only use canva which might be the worst part of all.

Pros

Love most of the residents, but seeing how badly they ( mostly bed bound residents ) are treated on a daily basis is hard. They aren’t showered/ checked for health issues , given meds, or even given the chance to get out of bed . People are literally wasting away. They send people to the hospital daily for their lack of care at the center ! Not a place for care. If you want to do a short term Recovery it’s fine. But if you don’t have the means, or family support you will waste away due to lack of care . They need more staff, but the staff there really don’t care enough for them to do anything. I do my best to help the residents on a daily basis and do what I can to help them. It’s not a happy place to work, but luckily I have my tribe of happy people to keep me going. We need more reliable staff, better pay and paid holidays. But for that, I might have to work elsewhere.

Cons

As above. Terrible care, administration all about numbers, not people
