Pros

Getting to work with the homeless in needy in Colorado Springs is fantastic. You can see the lives that this organization is changing everyday.

Cons

The new CEO is unwilling and unable to hear from anyone who isn't on the board of directors or the executive team. The pay is awful and they were about to cut benefits when I left.

Pros

The organization has strong community visibility, passionate employees at the ground level, and the potential to make a significant impact in Colorado Springs.

Cons

In mid-2025, SRM terminated more than 30 employees, roughly 30% of the company, citing financial concerns and restructuring, while executive leadership simultaneously received substantial raises (this is a FACT, look at their financial audit and form 990). For many employees, this created a deep sense of distrust, frustration, and hypocrisy within leadership. Communication from executives often felt disconnected from the realities staff were experiencing on the ground, and morale across departments suffered significantly. Frequent restructuring, unclear direction, and reactive decision-making created an unstable work environment where many employees felt undervalued, expendable, and burned out.
