Pros

Making a difference in people lives Connecting immigrants to community resources Possibly of changing client lives.

Cons

Management's dissatisfaction with an individual may also impact the client’s perception of that person. Additionally, it appears that the policies of the organization are not consistently enforced by those in leadership positions. There is a noticeable lack of organization, absence of established processes, and a deficiency in consistency. Individuals who identify as Hispanic may find themselves in a minority position, which can lead to feelings of marginalization. Furthermore, management may struggle to effectively communicate with clients due to a lack of proficiency in the necessary language. It is important to note that bilingualism is not a requirement for leadership positions within the organization. However a majority of the clue and family’s speak another language.

Pros

The work itself is good. The refugee families are great.

Cons

- Toxic and opaque workplace culture, management was terrible at communication. - Overworked, underpayed, and borderline exploited workforce. Impossible standards coupled with terrible payscales. Rampant unreported OT, emergency illegal (but necessary) gift giving from caseworkers to clients. - Rampant burnout--Every time they hire a new caseworker, the old hands all jump at the opportunity to be first out the door, leading to an experience crisis. Casework staff felt "taken hostage" by responsibilities to refugee families, who pay the price in lost services whenever someone quits. - Management gives lip service to employee equity, but viciously retaliates against perceived threats and is deeply protective of broken practices. Refuses to listen to ideas from ground-level employees. - Systems are bad. No one quite knows who does what or why. - Recent mass layoffs of people who gave everything they had to the organization.
