Pros
amazing, passionate staff who care about their work; you're doing really important work that has tangible effects on people's lives; mission-driven and client-centered; great work life balance compared to other PD offices; well-resourced for a PDs office; good leave policy
Cons
this job is high stakes and stressful due to the very nature of the job, burnout is real, pay is oppressively low; having to deal with heartless prosecutors and judges on a regular basis is a drag but not a function of the office.
the ED is MIA and executive management is so detached from the daily workings of the office, people don't even know where the ED is! would be a much better organization and would function better if they had a better ED and executive management actually was engaged with the office.
