Pros

LifeWorks has plenty of incredible programs available for the marginalized populations in our area. The people who work here are typically incredible individuals who care about contributing to their community and helping people change their lives for the better. There have also been plenty of training opportunities available.

Cons

It seems that once a person gets a job here it is almost impossible for them to get fired. Even if there is overwhelming reason and plenty of documented evidence to justify firing an individual, it rarely happens. You can show up to work drunk in a cab paid for by the company and still only be placed on an "action plan". I'm all for supporting the workers but not when it's at the cost of the work environment. Inept, inexperienced, and easily overwhelmed people populate full-time positions while those with experience, dedication, and passion for their work are lost as they find jobs elsewhere.

Pros

Some staff enjoyable to work with Flexible with time off/working from home (for admin staff) Lots of CEUs Benefits decent if you are single

Cons

Executive staff talk far too much about money, seem extremely disconnected from front line staff. Burnout is seen as an individual problem rather than systemic. DEI conversations handled in a tone-deaf manner. Cost to add a dependent to health insurance is laughable. Exec staff will gaslight you into thinking they are making horrible decisions for your benefit. Toxic work culture that involves decisions made by executive staff behind closed doors, no shared decision making and lashing out if decisions are questioned. Even sometimes senior program directors are left out of the loop. Staff who have been there for years leaving in droves.

Pros

Enjoyed working within in a team environment. Good location and decent benefits. Stressful at times, but the work was rewarding.

Cons

The pay could have been better. The agency had some issues with their building and could have handled the problems in a more appropriate manner.
