Pros

Great place to learn ALOT quickly if you have the appetite for it. Affordable housing is a fascinating industry and I was delighted to liaise with some inspiring and passionate people.

Cons

A certain division of the nonprofit has no strategy or organization. They keep expanding their "projects" without enough resources to support them. When the higher level leadership within the accounting department tried to warn them, they were met with defensiveness, dismissiveness, and complete disregard. As a result, the operations kept expanding and the accounting department kept getting overstretched which made it very difficult to attract and retain talent. There was no breathing time and eventually I and just about everyone I worked with burnt out and left.

Pros

You can move up if you want to play the game

Cons

Toxic leadership starting from the top. Piece of poop CEO that doesn’t connect with his staff and frequently butts heads with his employees, resulting in HR complaints that go nowhere. The place is far more concerned with their image than the impact. Misaligned goals mean coaches are burned out and constantly churned to do as much as possible without being properly trained. Tied to grants that have them focus on unrealistic goals for staff and dilute the impact of their work constantly. Recent layoffs asking most vulnerable staff to take pay cuts and lose benefits that probably could have prevented if CEO wasn’t paying himself 400k to go to conferences and inflate his ego. That’s what this place cares about though, not their work.
