      Needs much improvement

      Pros

      You are generally doing work to help people in genuine need. Many clients and volunteers recognize and are truly thankful for your time, effort, concern and dedication. You are put at the forefront of a crisis and are afforded the opportunity to affect change.

      Cons

      Always on call, unqualified and incompetent volunteer leadership. Many volunteers are granted a leadership or other critical position based on tenure or ability to contribute financially and not according to their leadership or management ability.

      New Board desparately needed.

      Pros

      Your work matters. This is a place where you can put your heart and soul into your work.

      Cons

      The "downsizing" and indebtedness. Mismanagement by the Board of Directors. Someone should have been keeping their eyes on the books. With 6 or 7 new CEOs at high salaries within the same amount of years, something needs to be done with those who run this organization.

      Pros

      It is a great organization with a clear cut purpose. Its employees often hold that same vision to help ones who are less fortunate or have fallen victim to some type of calamity. They have a very clear, regimented structure (like the military) which people can identify their role and what they would like to do. Training is very structured and their is clearly laid out career plan and progression track for those that work within the organization. This formal structure sometimes causes people to forget about the individual because everything is so systematic.

      Cons

      Long hours and poor compensation, especially at the local chapter level.
