Pros

Getting to educate diverse populations about comprehensive sexual health, decent benefits, work is meaningful,

Cons

Leadership has some major, major problems. I loved my job and would have stayed forever if it wasn't such a toxic work culture. Upper management were all white women and whenever issues of microaggressions and racism were raised, white woman tears would ensue without any actual action taken to make the workplace feel more inclusive. Some coworkers really tried to do our job and education internally, but the education department was ultimately considered the "problem" instead of any actual accountability taking place. Reproductive justice work is HARD, and this work culture only made it harder. There are also limited chances for upward movement unless leadership decides they like you.

Pros

Helping patient where they need help Passionate providers that work in the office Team members who work well together

Cons

Leadership has only worked at planned parenthood. No idea what takes place in a surgery center or doctors office, The process for any errors or miscommunication or errors was react then ask questions. Damage is done. Hiring people from waitress to construction work for medical roles. No mental health care for patients. Now they are performing transition medications and not mental help for the people
