Pros

Company parties ... .really that's it. Maybe because nobody wants my position it's not too hard to obtain.

Cons

Underpays employees and preferential treatment which leads to high employee turnovers. The Director even admitted they don't offer competitive pay at one of our meetings. When I began 80% of the workers were just celebrating their 1 year anniversary or less, very low for a company that has been around since 1992. They got no HR department only 1 person running HR at each of their locations. Highly liberal organization when the vets they are assisting is mostly conservative, which leads to high dissatisfaction from the vets and a lack of trust. They even treated me worse for being a conservative. Lack of opportunities to advance. They constantly overlooked my accomplishments when the vets gave me high satisfaction scores and praises. I was even overworked at one of their fundraisers but then they inconsiderately left me out of the company photo and I didn't get to hear the speech about how much I was valued as an employee...which made me believe I wasn't valued. They don't pay overtime, I am looking into a lawyer to see if they are legally allowed to do this as a nonprofit. The work is very physical at times. Unsafe working environment as they allow criminals to overstay longer than they should at their properties and puts both law bidding vets and staff at risk. They allowed the vets to rob them blind at times and violent behavior to escalate.

Pros

Working at U.S.VETS is more than just a job—it's a calling. The mission to serve veterans is deeply woven into the culture, and you truly feel like your work matters. The team operates with a strong sense of camaraderie and resilience. There’s room to bring new ideas to the table, and your contributions are valued. The organization prioritizes collaboration, and mission alignment and authenticity really shows.

Cons

Like many nonprofits, we work with limited resources and that can sometimes mean wearing multiple hats. Things move fast and priorities can shift quickly, which may be a challenge for folks who prefer a highly structured environment.

Pros

Working with the Veteran community, the ability to gain partnerships and connections on your own for future endeavors, the hands on experience with the veteran population.

Cons

Leadership constantly trying to coerce and convince employees to do several jobs for one pay (already underpaid), when proper channels are taken in terms of complaints leadership and national only show face and do nothing for their employees, the unprofessionalism, blatant favoritism, leadership having their own agenda without considering their employees in any way especially their mental health, that constant damage control is done by National to try and keep people working in a depressive work environment. People lose their light within 1 month of working here, they all look miserable and openly voice that they are miserable there. Keeping certain employees who purposely created hostile work environments all because they know how to get the nonprofit big money. They like to randomly change people's schedules or work locations based on their own wants and needs without consulting or asking the employee it's directly affecting. Being watched on a camera daily, while supervisors also use other employees to be their watch dog when they aren't physically at work. Being called "trouble" for not allowing abuse when faced with wrongdoing. Seems like things are kept secret at certain sights, everyone always seems so shocked that this and that is happening and yet.. nothing changes.
