Pros

Some staff genuinely want to help survivors. You can learn a lot if you network with other organizations.

Cons

Advocates barely make a living wage and are discouraged from working more than 36 hours a week, which results in an even lower salary. Then they are asked to "donate" their vacation to admin staff who are paid twice as much. Competent advocates leave within two years since there are zero advancement opportunities. Incompetent advocates are never fired so you end up surrounded by them if you stay too long.

Pros

When I started at NB, I couldn't have been happier. The work life balance, the mission, the pay and benefits were excellent, Now, the best things I can say are that the remote workplace and pay are still quite good for the field.

Cons

The ED and directors have quickly changed the whole culture to one of micromanaging, arbitrary performance indicators that don't have anything to do with the work, and fear. So much fear. Good advocates get sent to HR or placed on performance plans for doing what I best for the survivors. Many advocates are survivors themselves, and are in a coercive control relationship now with their employer, terrified to speak up and say anything because they will then be under scrutiny. They have bled good employees and will continue to do so.
