Vantaggi
- Mission and core values - Contributing to improving people's lives - Good benefits options (including a subsidy for lower income workers - I know was a saving grace for some of my colleagues) - Possibility for good work/life balance... (depending on manager, position) - Possibility for good employee/team dynamics...(again depending on manager, team)
Svantaggi
- Variability in management's treatment of teams...some teams work fantastically and are strong, while other teams suffer at the hands of managers who probably should have been sacked long ago (demoralizing employees, micromanaging to the extreme, overloading employees with the manager's own work, taking advantage of being salaried and disappearing for hours or days with no communication, the list could go on...) - Upper management, while certainly aware of problems...doesn't seem to want to address the problems within certain teams, even while those we serve are inevitably the ones who will suffer the consequences of low caregiver and team moral and frequent turnover. - Lower than average pay for many positions - Some in management "talk the talk" but don't "walk the walk" - Retaliation exists
