Pros

The staff that work in the programs, the ones that directly interact with the individuals served, have a tremendous job and do it well! Many of the support departments provide actual support to the programs

Cons

The "C-suite" is disconnected from the reality that is the work that is done by the staff in the programs. Decisions are made on a whim and change at breakneck speed, without consulting the people who those decisions affect. There is a serious lack of professionalism from those who are touted to be the "leaders" of the agency, belittling people, sizing people up, gossiping, and judging - none of those are qualities of a good leader

Pros

A lot of opportunity to grow in many fields if you’re interested in this population. Management does their best to advocate for higher pay and compensation (sometimes unsuccessful). The orientation trainings are the best- so detailed and informative

Cons

Lack of resources are always a con in this field

Pros

I'm proud to be part of an organization that reflects the vision and values that I have always aspired to in this field. As a member of leadership at May Institute, I've experienced firsthand how rare it is to find an organization that truly lives its values at every level. May is full of hardworking, compassionate team members who passionately support our clients. May actively invests in it's people, empowering team members to pursue their professional goals. I have grown in my profession as a result of the support from the organization, and I have witnessed many people here experience major professional growth. The leadership culture fosters an environment where innovation thrives and people are treated with respect and dignity. I can't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

This is hard work, but it comes with many rewards.
