Pros

The work they do is good -- keeping children and families together, trying to provide them with the tools and a path for a better life. The grounds are well-kept.

Cons

The new CEO is stiff and unapproachable. The board is not versed in business practices and is held in contempt by executive management. The office environment can be demoralizing and inappropriate -- derogatory comments spoken to employees by some executive management, unwanted hugs and unwanted touching (including shoulder rubs) from management; some management has openly cursed at employees. Expect to be micromanaged because some exec. management doesn't value expertise or understand standard industry practices -- only their own opinions and unrealistic timelines. Too many meetings are called that are unnecessary and unproductive. Leadership is not comfortable sharing information and prefers to leave employees in the dark. Some benefits will be promised at hire and never delivered. No matching contributions to retirement plan.

Pros

The people who work at Wellroot are top-notch -- warm, friendly, but also productive. They really cultivate a team atmosphere where people help each other. They really care about you as a person. They do monthly all-staff lunches so you get to know people in other departments. They are also genuinely want employees to have a healthy work/life balance and help to balance priorities. I was fairly compensated for my role, and the benefits package was good -- they do 401k matching up to 6%! In addition, they are doing wonderful work in the community -- it was a privilege to be a part of it!

Cons

Coming from a very small nonprofit, it was a bit hard to adjust to the larger size, but there are a lot of perks of a larger organization -- more people to carry all the work!
