Mixed experience...

Digital crisis worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some good things included the passionate coworkers and the meaningful, impactful work. The organization has its heart in the right place, although I disagreed with some of the methods and procedures.

Cons

There was not enough emotional support of crisis workers to combat the second hand trauma of the job. Burn out was high. Decisions were made high up in the organization without listening to the counselors' direct experience and that was very frustrating.
