Pros

Nice, caring professionals to work with.

Cons

Management is untouchable. GW keeps loosing truly good employees because of bad managers but they won't touch the managers. I have seen it happen over and over during the years I've worked for them. It's a shame - and it costs a lot for the organization.

Pros

Great impact on the community

Cons

Terrible salary and hourly pay rates. They claim they care about the community, but don't do anything for their own people to make sure they're taken care of and paid fairly.
