Pros

Passionate colleagues dedicated to the mission of supporting children's mental health. Opportunity to work on meaningful projects that have a real impact.

Cons

The organization is in a transition phase and could benefit from a more structured strategic vision to support long-term growth. Leadership decision-making is centralized, and a more collaborative approach could help empower senior management. The strategic planning process is still evolving, and a more mature annual goal-setting framework could enhance the organization's ability to operate at the scale of a large nonprofit.

Pros

Some very smart minds working here

Cons

- Extremely toxic work culture - Senior Leadership have no strategy. They chase good PR to the detriment of the health of their teams. - All power stems from the top. It changes like the wind and is not anchored in the mission or evidence. If you are not kowtowing to the leader, you are let go and without any respect to what you have contributed. This can be seen in the C-suite changing constantly over the past year. - Resource allocation prioritizes senior leadership salaries, which negatively impacts delivery of programs and services. This also illustrates to anybody wanting to invest or fund that it is not a good place for ROI. - Extremely high turnover is a reflection of toxic HR and senior leadership.
