Pros

The company is really supportive in developing their employees and providing opportunities to advance. The pay is above average for the nonprofit world and the company provides great benefits, including free options for employee. My direct supervisor is very supportive of me, and I know that the company strives to be as supportive of their employees as possible.

Cons

Employee recognition event is only 1x per year, would be nice if employees were recognized throughout the regions consistently throughout the year. The company has acquired 3 other nonprofits in the last several years, so the growing pains of the acquisitions is something we're all doing our best to navigate.

Pros

I love my colleagues, respectful work environment, flexible office/remote working. I feel lucky to work with my team. Great bosses, great CEO. Caminar's mission and the people they help are inspiring.

Cons

Nonprofit work can be challenging when government and foundation grant support shifts. The stress associated with funding is real. But, that is true for every nonprofit.

Pros

I worked for Caminar's now closed Redwood House. It was an incredible experience and I learned a lot there. The program director and assistant program director were fantastic leaders and created space for learning experiences and could prove their skill through practical engagement with the clients. Training opportunities were usually well thought out and useful.

Cons

Corporate's terrible handling of the closure of numerous acute facilities that they owned. Slow and confused explanations for what needed to be done as part of the closure, resulting in the rushed discharge of clients falling onto our overworked, burnt out staff. Abysmal HR department with one of the slowest hiring rate and potential employee retention I have ever seen. Low staffing meant constant overtime and back to back graveyard shifts. Sluggish to keep wages competitive and within the needs of QoL. An increasingly detached senior management.
