Pros
LIFE Pittsburgh was an absolute joy to work for. As an employee, I never felt taken advantage of or under appreciated; in fact, I was uplifted, encouraged and celebrated on a normal basis from all of the upper management. My job was difficult due to the wide variety of directors I served and the extent to which I supported each of them in detailed and extensive projects, however, each director was understanding and very realistic about goals and deadlines. I know a couple of the other reviews talked down on the management in LIFE Pittsburgh, but I believe that there is often a disconnect between management and employees. In particular, LIFE Pittsburgh had 4 operating centers and then an administrative office when I worked there and employees often do not see the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes, especially being in the healthcare industry. The directors often worked 10-12 hour days and then took work home at night and worked over the weekend just to complete all the required paperwork. They tirelessly go out of their way to be advocates for not only the participants that LIFE Pittsburgh serves but also the employees that are so vital to the organization. My time at LIFE Pittsburgh will always be held in high regard as the organization was more of a family working together than a company.
Cons
The directors often had so many responsibilities that took them outside the office that sometimes they were difficult to communicate with, which was unavoidable considering the tasks that they needed to complete daily were substantial. This would be my only complaint.
