Wouldn’t want to work anywhere else!

Pros

I’m on a great team with a really awesome manager doing incredibly impactful and rewarding work in a city I love! Pay was better than expected and benefits are pretty strong. I am able to mostly work from home through the pandemic and have been well supported by my team and our partners while doing so.

Cons

I am not a front-line, client-facing staff person so my experience is vastly different than many in the organization. CCC has some significant room for improvement. Between serious union-busting efforts at various facilities and the fact that CCC is working directly in the thick of Portland’s homelessness, drug, and mental health crises many CCC staff are given the short end of the stick with their wages and working conditions.

Disorganized and dysfunctional, chaotic

Business Outlook

Pros

Great retirement matching, direct staff in housing and employment care and are in touch. Amazing clients!

Cons

It feels like a new plan is rolled out every week without really figuring out how to make it happen or asking people doing the work what they need. Depending on what division you work in it can feel super top down, very into hierarchy, lots of power maneuvering with little accountability for professional behavior.
