Do not be deceived! What CITC is *really* like.
Pros
Some amazing people work at CITC. Many who provide direct services are there for the right reasons. Too many success stories of clients in crisis getting jobs, housing, connected back with their families, recovery, and much more. If you want to make a difference and land yourself in a department with strong leadership, CITC CAN be a great place to work.
Cons
Too many to mention. CITC wants to portray itself as a company that treats their employees with respect and that everyone, from the top down, stay true to CITC's values of respect, accountability, interdependence, and resiliency. If you're under a great manager and leadership, this will happen. But it ends up being the luck of the draw for you as an employee. I did not land in a department with leadership that, well, actually knew how to be good leaders. When I would talk with my co-workers and hear about all the wonderful things their leadership was doing to support their staff, I kept being surprised and disappointed by the stark difference in leadership quality between my department and my co-workers. My advice? Stay away unless you can be sure you will be part a good program. And sadly, I don't think the CEO has any idea of what's going on.
