      Pros

      Commute bonus/bus pass is paid for; insurance benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      Incompetent leadership spanning from middle management to upper management; fear-based work culture; promoted organizational "values" are not modeled; retaliation is common and ignored by HR. Organization does not place enough focus on employee retainment and frequently loses staff. Working from home is allowed among some employees but not others, and staff among the same team are held to different standards.

      Pros

      Front line staff genuinely care and are committed to the organization, even though it has changed dramatically for the worse.

      Cons

      Leadership under new CEO (Longhurst) has quickly become toxic. Long time employees and leaders are exiting quickly. Return to office mandate is going into effect in October 2026 and has caused massive upheaval and unproductive work for months as employees seek answers and get none. This comes after years of successive waves of layoffs and financial struggles that have damaged trust in executive leadership and the board. SCH used to care about mission and now it cares about keeping up with tech company trends and petting CEO’s ego.
