Pros

Has always felt like a family, ideas are important to leadership

Cons

Lately leadership has changed and now they are not visible, decisions are not communicated to staff until after they are done, losing family feeling and becoming more corporate.

Pros

Competitive benefits and wages, although losing market edge in recent years. Good mission and vision of helping those in need.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch with employees and seems to be in their positions according to who they know. Staff are untrusting and unwelcoming initially due to high turnover rates. The worst "orientation" I've ever seen. People have been certified for months and are left ignored with no tickets or deployments on our team, while others are completely over worked and outing in more than 60 hours a week.

Pros

If you are desperate for a job, and you can hide from directors and execs - you can work here for a little while.

Cons

Beware Contractors.....If you are visible to directors, vps, cio - then get ready to be blamed for everything - even if it is good, you will be blamed for something, so mgt looks great. They change their mind by the hour - accuse you of not knowing they changed their mind (as if you are a mind reader)....and watch out - they will say things and deny it minutes later. They set you up to fail.....tell you there is $budget and resources - when there are neither ! The management is all new - have no clue how to be managers - they just bark at you and boss you around and call you stupid idiots behind closed doors. I would never recommend a friend to work here - their goal seems to be to treat you like an idiot, tell you to just obey their commands, then criticize you for not being a self-starter and "just do it" person. If you "just do it" - they will threaten you with terminiation....and tell you to just do what they say! It's hard to believe that Catholic Nuns influence this place......the evil leadership does anyting to look good, and you will be the sacrificial lamb to make them look this way !
