Pros

Dedicated, considerate people who really care for the disadvantaged.

Cons

There are two groups of people who work here: Those who have been here 10+ years, and those who are new to the work world. Either way, none of them really know much about the for-profit world. The focus is really on low-level jobs, on the same caliber as working in the Goodwill stores and donation centers. Anyone looking for a job with brains or skills can't find help here.

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.
