Pros

The organization is mission-driven and the clients served are some of the most inspirational and wonderful people I've ever met. Because it has a "start-up" feel, there is a fair amount of autonomy. There are some exceptional people on staff to work alongside of.

Cons

There is a lack of trust between leadership and staff. Even if you are the most qualified person in the room to solve a particular problem, your solution will be pushed back against (particularly if you are a woman or a POC). The leadership makes lofty promises in terms of salary and benefits that go unfulfilled. The "family" dynamic of the workplace is exploited to overwork employees and then gaslight them when they ask for respect, let alone fair compensation.

Pros

Great work-life balance and focus on the "whole employee." Executives are focused on building up employees to win in their job and personal lives. Nice salary structure, especially for nonprofits.

Cons

Every organization has issues from time to time but I cannot think of anything too awful.

Pros

The mission of the organization is fantastic, and many individuals have been supported by its work. There are truly lovely employees that create a great atmosphere. There is always opportunity to grow and learn new skills.

Cons

Leadership at CP is more concerned with optics and self-aggrandizement than actually helping people. They recruit people of color to work for them for the sake of optics but use them and refuse to hear their actual voices. Jason is like a poisonous tropical fish - his charm pulls you in, but if you get too close, he is poison. If you’re a smart person looking to love your neighbor, be prepared to be steamrolled into doing exactly what they want (regardless of if you agree), or you will find yourself verbally and spiritually abused.
