Pros

It's a job. You get to go home after work. They hire lots of minorities.

Cons

A Draconian work environment, in which employees are berated in front of other employees, and reward and punishment is handed out arbitrarily. Employees are treated as cattle, threatened regularly, and forced to attend an hour long weekly meeting even if it they have the day off.. Worse still, is the culture of racial discrimination. And I don't use that term lightly. If you are white, you have zero chance for advancement, and you have a huge bullseye on your back. And sooner or later they find a way to get rid of you. Same thing happens if you have been there long enough to make more than minimum wage . And forget overtime. If you work overtime, they just have you come in late another day or leave early.

Pros

Like-minded, caring coworkers. Truly makes a difference in the community. Can change people's lives for the better. Good benefits. New senior management is making changes to help even more people. Excellent opportunities for job changes and advances within SOME of the programs.

Cons

HR department is like an exclusive club that is hard to access. HR allows it's employees to get away with A LOT. While new senior management is making many positive changes, some of the holdovers are stuck in the past and heavily rely on favoritism.
