Business Outlook

Pros

They pay us regularly for our services, which is essential because we need funds to cover our operational expenses and sustain our work.

Cons

Lies, backstabbing, favoritism, and subtle forms of racism cultivate a toxic workplace environment, undermining trust and morale among employees. The compensation offered here, when compared to the cost of living in San Diego—where housing, transportation, and everyday expenses are high—is entirely inadequate. I have no desire to work for an organization that, despite generating enough revenue to invest in impressive facilities and amenities, refuses to pay its staff a livable wage, leading to dissatisfaction and high turnover.
