Pros

Worked here for over a year and watched it move from a very caring team to an individualist group of clock watchers. I left of my own accord, my position was not "eliminated" as they had done with many others. Clients are generally very nice people, grateful for services they receive. There are still some very caring individuals, but they are mostly in other branches.

Cons

Very low pay in office and in the field, making it difficult to keep good employees. Attrition is HIGH. When an employee tried to cash her check at a branch where the check was drawn, it could not be processed. Corporate payroll personnel literally said, "it's not my problem!" Corporate made the decision to change pay schedules and withheld 6 days of pay (this was in July 2017). When I left the company, those six days were not on the final paycheck. All calls were ignored and sent to voicemail. When another employee attempted to get an answer on how to correct, the response from payroll was that payday is on Friday (this was Thursday) and they would not consider, or even look, at payroll issues until Monday. When expense reports are submitted with receipts, it takes upto 2 - 3 months for reimbursement.

Pros

The company is mission-driven and focused on supporting vulnerable populations, which gives the work meaning and purpose. It offers stability in a high-demand field and emphasizes training and re-education to support employee growth and retention. Branches are given flexibility to adapt processes locally, and many team members demonstrate strong compassion, teamwork, and commitment to clients.

Cons

There can be a disconnect between corporate policy and frontline realities, with inconsistent enforcement that increases strain on branch staff. A heavy reliance on repeated re-education can weaken accountability and affect morale, while centralized decision-making limits the value of branch-level expertise. Broad role expectations and limited advancement pathways can contribute to burnout for high-performing employees.
