Pros

Often times the work can be very fun and rewarding if you don't need a living wage.

Cons

Executive board of the AFS branch makes up and enforces non-official policies on a whim without written paperwork or disclosure to staff, some of these false-policies effect promotional decisions, and can effect job status up to termination. (2020) Standard hazards of direct care work. No reasonable benefits.

Pros

The division provides flexible work hours during the week and occasionally on the weekends. They also have several incentives to increase your salary during the first two years of employment and thereafter. They are always willing to listen to employee feedback and take on considerations. Despite COVID19, the agency worked tirelessly to keep us employed and working remotely. In addition, they have paid for staff training's and licensing opportunities. They also strive to keep employees and management very diverse. I have met some amazing talented workers and clinicians over the past several years. I have learned a lot from my supervisor as well. They also have a culture of appreciation and often do multiple activities in recognition of their employees. This includes employee of the month, annual events, appreciating gatherings like potlucks, wellness initiatives (i.e. yoga at work, healthy eating, managing stress), etc.

Cons

First of all, no agency is perfect. Working as a clinician can be very challenging and stressful. One of the set backs for most nonprofits its sometimes the lack of infrastructure (i.e. technology). Obviously computers, cell phones, and internet can be improved on. As in many nonprofits, change can be difficult and take some time. Sometimes the feedback we give takes weeks or months for actual change to occur.
