Pros

-they have a great kitchen, coffee machines, espresso, and snacks always stocked -great cleaning crew! -there is an outside patio during the cool months -unlimited overtime -great healthcare, dental, and vision -the office is typically clean -potlucks

Cons

-no sick days: you must use paid vacation time -mandatory overtime, mandatory 10 hour days with lunches cut to 30 minutes without an option -unfair hiring level/pay scale for amount of work produced -little to no personal space -it has become a call center - no matter what anyone tells you. Please keep this in mind -advocates are treated as lesser emyoloyees than all other departments -constantly given the excuse, "but we are a startup..so that's normal.." to any question like, "why don't we have a break?" -Seniors tend to talk down to all other advocates, roll their eyes when they walk away, etc -very childish environment full of new college grads who are involved in gossip and shaming

Pros

* Corporate roles offer flexibility, and no one micromanages how you structure your 8-hour day. * Good holiday schedule and work-life balance if you’re in the right role.

Cons

No clear vision or long-term strategy for the Safe & Secure department. * Constant reorganizations and changing priorities. * Positions eliminated, reinstated, and eliminated again. * No stability or clear career path. * Lack of structure and accountability. * “Blind leading the blind” culture. * Chronic understaffing. * Employees expected to do the work of two or three people. * No additional compensation for increased workload. * Leadership’s answer to resource constraints is to “be scrappy.” * High levels of burnout. * Extremely low morale. * Significant loss of talent and leadership. * Employees quitting without another job lined up due to poor working conditions. * Operations Center dismantled, relocated, and then effectively rebuilt again with no clear strategic reason. * Experienced employees terminated, only to recreate similar functions later. * Loss of institutional knowledge. * Frequent reactive decisions instead of proactive planning. * Constant uncertainty creates stress and uneasiness. * Lack of confidence in leadership direction. * Heavy workload with limited support. * Minimal investment in retaining top performers. * Environment not conducive to building a long-term career.
