Pros

Good PTO (you’ll need it) Employee health insurance covered

Cons

I worked at this organization for a long time, it used to be a great job with passionate people. At this point, I honestly don’t think it’s possible to get the rotten core out of leadership, most senior positions are hired through shady practices and personal relationships. This place literally had licensed clinicians in the least senior roles in the organization (crisis workers) while Hollywood directors were positioned as the CEO. If you speak out or whistle blow shady practices or unethical decisions, you will pay the price for it.
