The worst place I have ever worked

Pros

My co-workers were great and very hardworking.

Cons

The executive director is a complete nightmare, which is reflected in the constant turnover at this organization. Almost everyone quits within a few months. It's the most inefficient and ineffective organization I've ever worked with. Nothing gets done because the ED has extreme control issues and demands to review everything before anything can be filed or submitted. However he's also completely disorganized so never actually reviews your work. It's a constant cycle of having him assign multiple, contradictory assignments, then he yells at you to work faster, and then when you send him your work it dies in his inbox, never to be opened or seen. It's incredibly frustrating. On top of that he is extremely condescending and treats the entire staff like his personal assistants. He has no boundaries and will text you at all hours of the night, on weekends, and on your sick days although it is never an emergency. It's really a shame because the rest of the staff are great and so much could be accomplished if the ED wasn't constantly working against himself and the organization.

This post is almost certainly created by a former employee who was terminated and then stole our Facebook page and turned it into a rant against the program and repeatedly made false statements on social media platforms against the program and its Board and leadership using the same language in this post targeting the Executive Director who fired him. The program is well-organized, staff works cooperatively as a team, staff play a significant role in formulating and executing advocacy campaigns and litigation, salaries are completely consistent with those for similar workin other non-profit organizations, and staff are provided appropriate instructions on how to get duties accomplished while employees have a large amount of independence in performing their duties. Most staff members who have left did so to attend law school or to move to another non-profit to expand their knowledge and experience by learning a different area of the law. Most staff members who have left stay in touch with the program and supportive of its work.

Incompetent Leadership

Business outlook

Pros

- Feel good about the organization's mission - 1-2 coworkers are supportive - Looks good on a resume

Cons

- Leadership wears too many hats to do a good job with any of them. - Very little instructions are provided, and all the women get yelled at (or about, behind your back) failing to meet expectations. - Male employee's word is taken over female employee's word - Leadership has been known to fire everyone at the same time and to ghost employees for months - The kids at Casa Libre get very little (if any) attorney attention - Leadership will ask you to arrange meetings with other people and then not show up or explain

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear CHRCL was able to provide you with great experience in order to further your career while providing a supportive work environment and feeling of accomplishment. However, we're sorry to hear about the poor experience pertaining to gender equality and leadership. We are actively searching for an Executive Administrator in order to redistribute the duties among administration. Your feedback will be relayed to leadership, please immediately let us know if there are any issues with gender equality as we take this very seriously. Sometimes we can get things wrong and we would love the opportunity to get it right next time! We hope that all your future endeavors are positive!

Pros

Hands on experience as an attorney in a number of different capacities- grassroots, state/fed litigation, client communication, etc.

Cons

Heavily influenced by the personality of the executive director. If you don't get along with him, you may not enjoy the job.
