Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.

Pros

Always something to do which makes the day go by fast. Some employees really appreciate their job because they were hired with a criminal background when other jobs wouldn't accept them.

Cons

Lack of communication between management. Not enough guidance for new employees who exhibit mental health related struggles or substance abuse issues. I was personally taking initiative to tackle issues that management seemed to push aside. For example, growing tension between two employees that eventually got out of hand, as well as SH and on the job intoxication.
