Pros

Great pay, benefits, and PTO accumulation; outstanding coworkers and ability to transition between programs.

Cons

Upper management is the worst I have ever seen. Communication is often nebulous or non-existent regarding important programmatic changes. Employees are routinely retaliated against for speaking up on important issues. Management does not understand or take seriously the role of peers within the agency. Upward mobility is limited for those seeking job security, as any supervisory role is non-represented and is viewed more as a scapegoat for upper management to hide behind in the event they make a mistake.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great, a lot of pto.

Cons

Not a great company for POC in leadership roles. You will also receive very little support from higher ups, and must manage heavy emotionally taxing days with KPIS.
