New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at Selfhelp Community Services, Inc.

ProsThe mission is really meaningful with many people doing their best to serve clients, the staff is friendly overall and the benefits are pretty good.

ConsThe senior leadership is too concerned with covering their own backs in front of the CEO to report any real issues and dissatisfaction within the organization. It's not in their interest to discuss real challenges and therefore frustration among the lower ranks continue. The hiring is uneven with many higher level positions being offered resulting in a very top-heavy organization but few "doers" and skilled support staff.

Advice to Senior ManagementCommunicate, inspire and stop pretending as though everyone else is the problem...the issues always start at the top. It could be a good place to work with a little effort.

Former Employee – worked at Selfhelp Community Services, Inc.

ProsGenerally pleasant and caring people working there and concern for employee and client satisfaction. Benefits are pretty decent when you are on a single plan...hardly any premiums paid. Vacation time fair and generous compared to other agencies.

ConsSalary is very low and not on par with individuals in similar positions elsewhere. Very small differential between levels of hierarchy.

Advice to Senior ManagementRecognize that employees, especially managers have lives outside of work and you cannot expect people to work evenings and weekends with no compensation. If one chooses to do so, that's fine, but it shouldn't be an unwritten rule.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
