Awesome staff, sub-par administration.

Pros

-The Center's mission is clear and is at the forefront of everyone's efforts -A building full of social workers means that for the most part, everyone is really kind to each other -Better quality of life than most non profits I've worked at -Part time employees make virtually the same rate as their full time counterparts, just without the benefits and full time hours

Cons

-Administrators are out of touch with the employees under them. -Way, way, too many meetings. -All staff (not just direct service workers) are pressured into working directly with the kids coming in for appointments. This is not communicated during the application process. This is a task that should only be done by trained social workers, as it is unfair to traumatized children to have a random operations employee babysit them instead of someone much more qualified to give trauma-informed supervision. -Some employees are criminally underpaid despite their education, experience, and importance to the Center's function. Management looks for highly qualified applicants and pays them the lowest rate possible. -Some departments are well treated and well staffed. Back-end/ support departments are overworked and underpaid. -DEI is an important priority for client service, but not in hiring/ staffing.

Meaningful Work, Awful Work Culture

Pros

Meaningful work that is done at the Center. Can feel fulfilling knowing that you're doing your part in minimizing the trauma for children who come to the Center. Nice colleagues, easy to make connections across departments.

Cons

- Administration and Exec team is completely out of touch with the employees that fall under them. - Little to no room for professional growth. -Communication lacks consistency, and there are disparities across departments. - Work from home is contingent on the supervisor. There's a glaring issue where individuals within departments aren't treated equally, solely based on who their supervisor is. It's like a luck-of-the-draw scenario determining your treatment rather than consistent standards across the board. - HR and Chief of Staff are the same person. She is a nice lady, but it blurs lines between employee support and management direction, leading to conflicts of interest. Employees often hesitate to approach HR with concerns, fearing bias towards management. This setup hinders HR's ability to address issues impartially and maintain a fair workplace atmosphere. - Pending your department, employees are often discouraged from seeking assistance from other departments for tasks. For instance, when assigned a task that could benefit from finance or marketings expertise, supervisors discourage reaching out, suggesting to "learn it yourself." This often leads to wasted time. - There is a significant turnover rate, particularly within clinical departments. Staff concerns are frequently disregarded based on tenure. If a supervisor has been with the company for a certain number of years, they are hesitant to reprimand or dismiss them. This results in a preference for high turnover rather than adapting to modern practices. -The majority of staff members are significantly underpaid considering the volume and caliber of work they contribute. There's a stark contrast between the massive budgets allocated for donor-related events and the reality that many staff members are forced to work second and even third jobs to make ends meet. This discrepancy highlights a concerning imbalance in resource allocation within the organization.

Wonderful mission, terrible management

Pros

The center as a whole provides essential care and services to families who have been victims of abuse. Plenty of opportunities for clinicians to be trained in different therapeutic approaches and techniques.

Cons

Lack of communication and awareness of staff needs from upper management. This is especially the case if you’re working within the clinical department. Historically there’s been a lot of issues and red flags raised by former staff about their chief clinical officer, but there has been little to no change. Other clinicians and supervisors that don’t even work at this center are aware of the problems with this individual, which speaks for itself.
