Pros

Not one single thing at all.

Cons

I dreaded going to work every single day. The executive director an egotistical and disrespectful human being who has no business working with young people or any organization that is meant to empower people. He is not a leader and should be ashamed of himself and the ways he has dragged SMYAL into the ground. This also makes me question the board of directors who are a group of people allowing this to continue. People have complained and raised concerns, whistle blown, shown receipts of malpractice. Still nothing. This really shows how expendable staff and inadvertently, the youth are. The priorities of this organization are motivated by money and in no way do they care about the community they are meant to serve.

Pros

Good benefits and pay, working with queer youth

Cons

Directors are completely virtual and don’t support staff, large workload and leadership seem far away from the mission, programming especially housing needs work, no trans women of color working there or in leadership, I worked at one of the transitional housing programs and upon my exit wasn’t offered an exit interview, and my director did not provide much support with my caseload or high needs cases. I felt that the org need some work on making an affirming place for gay men of color. I felt fingers were pointed at me and was not offered support on a day to day basis. Not clear communication and very trickle down communication style.
