Grateful to work here

Pros

This is the best team I have ever worked with, at literally every level of the org. Everyone has been so supportive in the transition to WFH and really grateful for the extra personal day and sick time they gave after COVID-19. All the recent People Ops initiatives around culture and support have been really inspiring and needed. The no-premium health care and benefits are unprecedented--never seen anything like it at any nonprofit I've worked at and really appreciate that they extended it to part-time folx too.

Cons

It's been really hard to work from home, but appreciate everything that has been to try and make it as good as possible. Would appreciate even more virtual social events.

Think Twice Before Woking Here as a Counselor

Pros

Passionate co-workers and I did love counseling young people. The cons below aren't their fault!!

Cons

I left the org 3 months ago and went back and forth between posting a review but I seriously can't let anyone go through what I did. I second every single thing in the 1/29/2020 review. The goal of offering 24/7/365 digital services was extremely noble but it was clear by the summer of 2019 that they did not have the capacity. There was a 3-5 hour wait then almost every time I worked. The equally long wait times my former co-workers tell me about now in these times of COVID-19 could've been prevented. You better believe I sounded the alarm that summer re: needing more staff to keep at this capacity. A large reason why so many of us left per the 1/29 review was because instead of adequately hiring more staff, we were forced to take on double the work (i.e. take 2 chats at once) with no raise in pay or benefits. Not even the health insurance we were promised and then quickly cheated out of.

Pros

Staff is always there for you, and I really felt supported through all of my tough conversations. Very understanding and supportive when it comes to your own self care. Love the snacks! (I mean, when we can be in the office). Really impressed by what is being done to support WFH during this coronavirus crisis.

Cons

No major ones, I just wish we could get back to the office! I miss everyone.
