Women In Need Reviews

CEO is toxic and known for yelling at people, talking down to people, throwing people out of her office, and cussing. Her paycheck is priority to her which is why she cares about raising money - not for families. Senior staff continuously get bonuses and annual raises (check the 990s) while site staff are mostly the ones who struggle to get fair pay. Executive Office staff have decent salaries, but also don't get raises or even COLA. They act like they care, but behind closed doors they only care about lining their pockets. Even when you hit your metrics it doesn't matter because nothing is ever good enough. SVP of Development is also problematic in that they are very unclear with direction, unforgiving of questions to get clearer direction, and being that they were new, not able to integrate to the way things had been done for years. Inability to adapt and created a lot of confusion.

No paid holidays off (comes out of comp time) and must work some weekends. Shelters are located in unsafe/desolate areas, and there are some safety concerns both in and out of the shelter which could be taken more seriously. LMSWs currently get little/no supervision. Work load not realistic, many staff burnt out, very high turnover. A lot of uncertainty about LMSW program, doesn't feel like it was implemented in the best ways. Some tensions between case management and other staff. General culture of working against rather than for the clients. Put too much emphasis on their metrics/$$ and will discourage workers from spending too much time with clients for the sake of getting numbers up, paperwork done.
