Pros
-Decent benefits for single adults
-Ability to make a difference in the community
-Good work experience
-Some people really care about what they do and it shows
Kontras
-Director level leadership lacks leadership. Routine favoritism is displayed, and most directors have no idea how to relate to employees not directly below them
-Micromanagement from the director level is routine. In my experience, Directors don't bother with those not directly reporting to them unless something is being perceived as completed improperly, or if other directors make a fuss just to make a fuss.
-The benefits were quite expensive for families
-NO MATERNITY LEAVE. The organization has a female executive director currently and they still have no maternity leave. For all that you are required to do, the least management could do is act like they care about expecting mothers.
-Poor Culture - All around poor management and leadership. The few opportunities that are available for upward mobility are typically given to those who are favored, not by merit.
-The pay was horrid. Almost all of the money goes to the top. The Executive Director of HAPCAP (a rural community action agency) made the same amount as the Executive Director of the community action agency in the state capital of Columbus. The commitment to the ideas they claim is off
-Only those with a master's degree get far. With the poor pay and no tuition reimbursement education, they don't incentivize employees to get their master's
