Pros

Fun to work with donors and get to know them, supervisors where all kind and supportive.

Cons

Some of the nurses where rude and not fun to be around and had a click, not a very good learning environment and also the long hours that you are expected to work, at times working 14 hour days.

Pros

Many of my colleagues are dedicated, passionate, and genuinely care about making a difference.

Cons

Recent management decisions have been disgracefully handled, lacking professionalism and basic respect. There's a stark divide between leadership and staff, leaving many feeling undervalued and unsupported. The arbitrary use of Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs), especially following conflicts with major donors, is deeply concerning. HR communication on critical employment matters has been woefully inadequate, causing unnecessary stress and confusion. The culture of toxic positivity stifles genuine support for struggling team members, making it nearly impossible to address real challenges. The lack of structured onboarding and ongoing communication and support when seeking help creates an environment of uncertainty and frustration. If you're considering a role here, prepare for the rewarding aspects of the work to be overshadowed by poor management and a lack of regard for employees.
