Pros

Smart, committed people; a lot of talent; beautiful space; good benefits; decent salaries. Gym in the building.

Cons

Not a lot of diversity. The national office is not reflective of the diversity on their doorstep. Few people of color in senior leadership positions (other than Dr. Cullins). The President seems to be unable or unwilling to see that this is an issue and not make a long-term commitment to change it.

Not a nice place to work

Pros

Time off is great but that is really all that is good about the place.

Cons

Everything else. The turn over rate is very high. They pay a cheap wage and then talk about how great they want you to be then demand you do what you do faster and faster to the point you know what assembly line health care is all about. Management for the most part are so full of themselves they can do no wrong and they will discriminate against the men who work for them with no problem hell then even discriminate against mothers. God help you if you have to stay home with a sick kid. The are so understaffed at every health center it should be considered a health care disaster. With employees who are over work and so under paid I am not surprised that the turn over rate is so high. The dumber you are the less chance of you being fired. They like their employees to never complain or point out discrepancies in any managers actions. Hell you can go up to a manager and say hey you treating me unfairly and then be punished by management making things hard for you and not being able to get a meeting with HR even when you asked for one. Even putting it in a email does not work. Not a place to work out if you believe in what you are doing and can think. Great place if you do not like thinking and feel providing a cheap substandard service is okay, don't mind not getting raises, don't mind not advancing, with micro management style that will make you sick to your stomach.

feminist theory vs feminist praxis

Pros

this is for PPNYC only. In many departments there is room to grow and move up in the organization if you choose. more possible if you are a "team player" as many "lifers" are there even after many different shifts and switch of staff and protocol. health insurance is good. very white organization as most senior management are mostly white women and men with a handful of people of color. not all PP centers are the same w regard to staff and culture.

Cons

there is a difference between using a feminist theory to guide the work and using a feminist framework to guide the work. PP all over use a theory not a framework so the actual practice of those outside of clinical settings struggle in totally different ways w hierarchy, logistics, non-union positions, etc.
