Pros

The salaries are fair for para-professional positions, and depending on the department co-workers can be great. Regular all-staff trainings are helpful. Departmental trainings are a good start. Some baseline leaders are excellent. The purpose-driven work is real and fulfilling when done correctly.

Cons

Ironically, it does not adhere to the tenets the company claims to stand for. The agency often has folks in power who do not know the details of job functions for those under them, talk behind backs and form into tight groups despite that they should know better at their stages of careers and professions, and things are often done without rational justification. Instead they are done because someone promised to do them a certain way and wants to be right in their position. This is top-down, and there is no swimming upwards if you are not "in".

Pros

If you are passionate about supporting survivors of domestic violence and breaking the cycle of abuse, don't look any further - at A Safe Place you will meet like minded colleagues and will get the support from management that you need. I have been at the organization for almost 6 months now (after being a bit hesitant to accept the offer due to the negative reviews I saw online) and I am so happy I followed my heart! The organization has rapidly grown in the last couple of years, expanding its programs and services in order to provide wraparound support for survivors. This has contributed to some growing pains but you can clearly see the signs of change as the whole organization is moving in the right direction. The CEO has been working relentlessly to provide employees with the support they need in terms of benefits/compensation and flexibility that would reduce staff turnover and would create an environment where every employee feels valued and appreciated.

Cons

Working with survivors of DV is challenging and requires experience, passion, patience and dedication. The organization is sometimes struggling with limited funding but understands the need to support staff and create a positive work environment.
