Pros

There is good work happening by program staff to help foster children and homeless families. The grounds are pretty.

Cons

My former manager was a suffocating micromanager that killed creativity. He would call or text personal cell phone at all hours of the day and night for non urgent tasks. He was really, really horrible in all ways I can think of; the worst manager I've had in a 10+ year career. UMCH is a very disheartening place to be as an employee. Even with a leadership change, UMCH remains a place of instability and indecision. There are lots of pointless meetings that run on and on and decisions are never made. UMCH treats staff as a commodity, and they do not make any effort to keep good employees or develop managers. Your voice won't be at the decision-making table unless you happen to be a middle aged white man. Company is not financially responsible. They do not adhere to any positive values as an organization. Run, run away quickly, from a job offer at UMCH.

Pros

The people who work at Wellroot are top-notch -- warm, friendly, but also productive. They really cultivate a team atmosphere where people help each other. They really care about you as a person. They do monthly all-staff lunches so you get to know people in other departments. They are also genuinely want employees to have a healthy work/life balance and help to balance priorities. I was fairly compensated for my role, and the benefits package was good -- they do 401k matching up to 6%! In addition, they are doing wonderful work in the community -- it was a privilege to be a part of it!

Cons

Coming from a very small nonprofit, it was a bit hard to adjust to the larger size, but there are a lot of perks of a larger organization -- more people to carry all the work!
