Pros

Community Based Voluntary Services (CBVS) has the potential to help families in need.

Cons

If you want to be bullied and gaslit by management, this is the place for you! CBVS is a brand new program that takes bachelor-level employees and attempts to educate them to function on a master's "therapeutic" level (though many employees are not informed of this prior to hiring). The managers of CBVS (those that work above the supervisor II level) are bullies and have no business being the managers of one of Waypoint's largest programs. They are entirely out of touch with reality, care nothing about their employees, and need months of proper leadership training. The CBVS program is failing, and leadership is not willing to listen to employee feedback. If you want to have your ideas ignored, be bullied by management, and question what you're doing to help families, work here.

Thank you for your feedback. Waypoint would not be able to provide the amazing services that we do without our valued employees. We encourage a work/life balance so that our employees may bring their best selves to work while supporting their families at home. Thank you for your dedication and hard work throughout your tenure.

Pros

Pros: -The experience gave me clarity about the kind of workplace culture I want to be part of in the future, and made it clear that any workplace culture similar to Waypoint’s, is not it. -It motivated me to pursue environments that value mentorship and growth. -I gained resilience and learned how to adapt under pressure.

Cons

Cons: -As an intern, asking questions was treated like a burden instead of part of learning. Guidance was minimal, and mistakes were not approached as teachable moments. -Interns were compared to higher-level students rather than supported at their own stage of training. -Leadership occasionally made belittling comments about educational backgrounds, which felt unprofessional and discouraging. -The overall atmosphere was tense, many days felt like “walking on eggshells.” -Negative culture, including gossip about colleagues and even clients, created a toxic and disheartening environment.
