Pros

Decent pay and benefits in most areas and positions. Mission to provide services to underserved populations in our communities and commitment to the communities we serve.

Cons

Very top down driven company with 1970's management culture, structure and technology. Don't try to get answers directly (even on basic simple things) from anyone above you. You have to ask your manager to get answers from other managers or specialty department leaders, and if you need an answer from 2 levels up, it must go through multiple management levels. Because the company has grown so quickly, most of the leaders are in over their heads, but won't admit it. The fear of not getting things done when dictated from the top makes for poor short-term decisions to meet unlofty goals that create much long-term chaos. The company is siloed and trying to get information as a new employee is very difficult. No one responds and when they do it is usually with wrong or incomplete information or they refer you to someone else who doesn't respond or refers you to another source, it never ends. Forget about work life balance, comfortable work environment, flexible schedules or telecommuting of any kind. This company believes the only way work gets done is that everyone work a strict 8am-5pm schedule at a company location in business professional attire 5 days a week (that's right - not even casual on Fridays).
