Pros

- 211 staff work their tales off to ensure people have the resources they need - great service - lots of opportunities to network and build strong connections with other agencies in the community - fun opportunities to get involved in community - 35 hour work weeks (until you have to work all weekend)

Cons

- pay is significantly low - they nearly starve their employees (low to mid level) and everyone knows it -leadership (VPs) over- compensated (most are close to or at six figures) check out their 990 for more. It's imbalanced to what their campaign, investing in results, administrative, 211..etc employees earn - directors (not all) are quite the micro-managers and rude/mean to their staff this includes (211, VRC, EHS) I witnessed someone being publicly yelled at and belittled by 211 Director - (inappropriate) - campaign staff are poorly compensated for all that they do - Directors want you to work hard but they don't do squat (work load is placed on entry level staff) in fact they pretend that they are so busy going to conferences, luncheons, "networking" but they really don't do much - these trips are a paid vacays for them - Inappropriate interactions between men and women in the office (sexual harassment) - no comp time for working late or weekends

Pros

Good money for being in a call center. Building was very clean and nice. Staff was okay most of the time.

Cons

There is an "us vs. them" environment between admin and call center. Lots of favoritism going on in leadership. Loooooong hours, too long of a shift. Parking sucks. Can seem kind of childish co-worker behavior (gossiping, loud) - unprofessional at times. Slightly unorganized leadership. No room for promotion unless you are a friend and they create a position for you.
