Pros

Established great supportive friendships that are still solid. Working with families was really rewarding, when the families wanted the help.

Cons

Logistically a nightmare. On call 24/7 without compensation. Expected to transport youth despite obvious safety concerns. It is easy to work 105 hours a week for under $30,000 a year. Leadership demands that team members add clinical information to secure insurance approval even if the information is not clinically accurate. I believe that is considered insurance fraud.

Pros

* Fulfilling mission with meaningful work that makes a real difference in the lives of children and families. * Competitive pay and benefits compared to many other nonprofit organizations. * Lots of “lifers” and long-tenured employees who are deeply committed to the organization and its mission. * Standard PTO policy that supports work-life balance and encourages employees to take time off. * Strong opportunities for personal and professional growth, especially for employees who take initiative. * Mission-driven culture where people genuinely care about the youth and families served and are committed to doing what’s right. * Great learning environment with experienced colleagues, supportive mentors, and opportunities to develop new skills.

Cons

* Work-life balance can be challenging at times. * Maternity leave and additional benefits lag behind those offered by many peer organizations and employers. * Performance review and compensation structure can make salary growth feel limited without a promotion or role change. * Aging leadership team seems to lack strong succession planning. * Lack of diversity within senior leadership compared to the broader employee base and communities served. * Siloed departments and teams create communication gaps and limit cross-functional collaboration.
