Pros

The office is conveniently located downtown.

Cons

Philadelphia Works is all about nepotism and favoritism. It is impossible to get fired and hardworking employees are not appreciated and often are forced to pick up the slack from others. The company does not care about their employees and are bleeding quality employees because of it. Wages are low and raises and bonuses are nonexistent. The current CEO Mark Edwards has stripped away every employee perk upon his arrival and has ignored the high turnover rate. The company's performance is getting worse by the day due to the CEO's inexperience in the workforce development field. The company keeps incompetent and hostile managers who have driven out many employees and hr has completely ignored employee's complaints. The human resources department is untrustworthy and unprofessional. The health benefits are expensive for what you get.

Pros

Healthy working environment, thought it varies across departments. Hybrid work structure allows for some flexibility with work and life balance. Work is meaningful and directly impactful.

Cons

At times hectic and leadership styles and effectiveness can vary from department to department. The organization is often understaffed and either work slows or staff take on some extra responsibilities. Not much opportunities for promotions.

Mismanaged from the top down, most of leadership is out of touch with the work their teams accomplish. Poor planning leads to a never ending scramble to catch up.
