Poor Management

Pros

The organization has a good mission but poor execution and leadership.

Cons

The ED and the COO are the most outright disrespectful "professionals" I have ever worked with. I have witnessed the disrespect and experienced it first hand. I was spoken down to quite often and frequently referred to as "entry level". There is a severe lack of organization throughout the non-profit. The organization is dedicated to helping victims overcome abuse and trauma. However, upper management is also guilty of a similar kind of abuse that stems from a misuse of authority. During my tenure at Day One there was a readily apparent sexism towards men which made the workplace very uncomfortable. People do not come to work to be disrespected and definitely not to be made to feel like they do not belong.

Pros

Most of the staff are fantastic.

Cons

The two people running the agency are absolutely horrible to work for. They are extremely abusive and there's nothing anyone can do about it. They have lost a lot of excellent people because of this. Also, I've never seen the turnaround they have. Most people are there a year or less because they don't like the hostile work environment. It's too bad because the mission of the agency is fantastic. Some people just can't practice what they preach!
