Avantages
Clients Size Locations Mission Cafeteria on Main Campus Employee Assistance Program and Counselors, you'll need them Access to Austin Nonprofit Community (be nice, they don't take GW folks too seriously, which will come in handy later. See the Cons section below) Lots of training opportunities you can use in future work life---take em, dont expect to use them.
Inconvénients
-Regularly late on annual reviews, raise request, vacation approvals. -Poor organizational skills by supervisors and managers was the norm. The further you go up the chain, the worse it got. Meetings were often cancelled or outright forgotten. Unapproved time cards led to repeated shorted or no check. Their answer? "We'll put it on the next one." They pay every two weeks. -Expensive Benefits. -High turn-over, not uncommon for social work, but, its because of how people were treated, not how they did their job, see below. -Cannot expect to be honestly reviewed for your performance fulfilling your title---an actual quote from a supervisor "I should have lied on your review.". Actual. Quote. - Lots of drama and intrigue. Sometimes quite toxic to getting things done. -Everyone in actual leadership post have been there for ages. New ideas fall on deaf ears, huge disconnect between staff and management. -Ran by a majority of business people, not social workers.
