Pros

The culture here is the best I've experienced thus far in my career. Staff has the opportunity to participate in a variety of committees to contribute to actively shaping the culture and the decision making process. In general, coworkers are friendly, supportive, and respectful. The office itself is beautiful with a stunning view of the Richmond skyline. Leadership is supportive of employees and is invested in the well being and professional development of staff. Within the first couple of months of working here, my supervisor started conversations about what I'd like my career path to look like! I like the feedback structure, I have the opportunity to touch base with my supervisor weekly and feel that communication is very open both ways. They are understanding and flexible when challenges crop up in your personal life. The benefits and pay are great for nonprofit, and are better than my previous job in the for-profit sector. The agency is growing and leadership continues to consciously improve workflow, agency culture, and organizational strategy. This is a mission-driven organization, and it is inspiring to see the ways that all of the different teams go above and beyond to support the mission.

Cons

Collaboration across departments can be challenging. There are opportunities for improving the training process and for process documentation which are actively being worked on by leadership

Pros

Lower level staff cares so much about the mission and making a difference for the children we work with. Our clinicians and front desk staff mean the world to our clients and cds members will do anything for the providers and centers they work with. Most employees go out of their way to help each other and put on events.

Cons

The executive leadership is entirely performative and lacks any accountability whatsoever. Staff has actively held meetings to address this behavior and are met with blame and gaslighting regarding our care for the mission. It feels like it is the top against the bottom and is overall hostile at times. There is no recourse for inappropriate behavior because HR does not follow through on complaints and even engages in unethical behavior. I wish this place was better because the mission is amazing.
