    Pros

    Staff and clients are good people. Excellent Benefits! Services provided are very helpful to those clients in need.

    Upper management has no clue what goes on, or if they do know they don't care. Too many people set in their ways. No room for growth. Pay is not worth the stress.

    Pros

    Friendly coworkers, staff that want to make a difference for HIV-infected individuals, great medical insurance plan, generous sick time

    Cons

    Unyielding management, supervisor, and not a lot of room for growth, staff does not try to keep the staff happy so there is a high turnover rate.

    Advice to Management

    They need new management, period. They are very set in their ways and they don't value their hard-working employees. Take a moment to appreciate them instead of looking at how to ramp up the numbers.
