Pros

Decent pay for a call center

Cons

In Texas over half of your calls are incorrectly routed to United way. These calls are for food stamps and Medicaid. The amount of calls for that is insane. Completely inefficient, you get to get yelled at by angry people who aren’t even trying to reach you. This is a sure way to make your employees burn out. Then when you finally get calls seeking resources there are next to none in each city. Management refuses to acknowledge the absurd amount of incorrectly routed calls as a problem and seem to have a fairytale view of the resources available.

Pros

The mission is meaningful and the work itself can be deeply rewarding. Colleagues are talented, dedicated, and genuinely care about the community they serve. For the right person, that camaraderie carries a lot of weight.

Cons

Over the past two years, this organization has undergone significant and painful change. A revolving door of senior leadership, including the abrupt loss of key executives, created instability that trickled down to every level of staff. Layoffs followed, and then a steady stream of voluntary departures that leadership appeared either unable or unwilling to address meaningfully. Under new leadership, nearly every quality-of-life benefit that made nonprofit-level salaries feel worth it has been reduced or eliminated: fewer sick days, increased healthcare costs, loss of Summer Fridays, loss of Thanksgiving week, and a shift to more required in-office days. The cumulative effect is an organization that asks a great deal of its staff, in salary sacrifice and mission commitment, while systematically withdrawing what made that trade-off feel fair.
