Pros

The childcare and fitness departments are wonderful to work in. Management in other areas is toxic. The board is great though, so there is potential for the organization to fix its systematic problems if there is a commitment to do so.

Cons

I have never worked at an organization that displayed such hypocrisy.

Pros

Generous vacation (although mostly unpaid), supportive office environment

Cons

Management was unprofessional, unqualified, did not support the mission of the YWCA. The Board was given too much influence over day-to-day management, and staff concerns were not heard or taken seriously.
