Pros
Great location in Foggy Bottom, near Georgetown. Good benefits. Some of the work was rewarding, like helping raise awareness about domestic violence.
Cons
I was really excited when I started working at YWCA USA (the National Office) in Washington, D.C. But it turned out to be the WORST job of my career! Absolutely horrible management who don't have strong vision, skills or expertise to lead the organization. Very hostile environment where employees are constantly criticized and bullied by leadership, who honestly don't know what they are doing. High turnover, low morale and absolute dysfunction! The YWCA claims to "empower women" but the truth is the leadership does more to belittle, harass and bully women! Be warned: You will ruin your career and waste your time working here!
