Pros
i genuinely like all of my coworkers, even if we do not necessarily always align. where i specifically work in my company feels protected from some stuff you'll see in the cons. i like my clients and the work i do. i feel like i positively impact our client's lives.
Cons
this company does not feel like it values employees. it claims to have services it does not - like saying it provides gender-affirming counseling without having a gender therapist, there is a DEI committee in theory but the staff of color are not supported, interpreters are hard to come by. we are given caseloads that are not sustainable and punished if clients do not show up consistently despite the fact that we work with high-risk populations that are not going to be showing up consistently. we are not paid in any way that is competitive despite them saying it is - it doesn't take much to see that we are not. like, many of us can barely afford rent despite having advanced degrees. i was really hopeful when i first started working here but now i'm just holding out until i find a better place to land.
