      Pros

      Great mission! Doing essential work in the community. Staff actually care about the people they serve.

      Cons

      Stale management. Keep adding programs without the internal structure to support them. Too many in senior management have spent their entire career in the agency and don't know any better.

      Organized agency with decent funding and great colleagues; sometimes unsupportive supervision and bureaucracy

      Pros

      -->Well funded agency with consistent funding -->Because of this, agency offers great benefits, higher than average pay and can hire better employees and supervisors -->Keeps contracts consistent with funders (no major changes in funding patterns and thus, layoffs or budget cuts) -->Lots of opportunities for trainings -->Full HR staff who answer questions and provide appropriate orientation, training and exit interview opportunities -->Agency does take employee feedback into account if it is presented professionally and diplomatically -->Agency has decent organizational culture; hosts family picnics, sports games, charity days and all-staff meetings to bring employees together -->Generous vacation and sick time; flexible hours depending on the program -->Large agency with power in the Bronx; 600 employees, 28 offices; well-known, has a decent reputation; lots of connections; well-received by other agencies -->lots of opportunities to move up IF you get an advanced degree

      Cons

      -->Major beaurocracy at the agency -->Crazy senior staff members; unprofessional; disconnected from clients -->Upper management did not take many staff members considerations into account -->High staff turnover; sometimes turnover was not addressed; became awkward -->Pushed out staff members -->At times, did not feel appreciated -->If you don't fit into the organizational culture, you could get pushed out

      So much emphasis on the day-to-day, the organization forgets the other factors that appear in the workplace.
