San Francisco Pretrial Diversion Project

I started my job about 2 months ago and have really enjoyed the people, location and the work that I do. This is a unique field with this organization leading the way in the work that is being done. There are all sorts of factors that go into it being able to be successfully managed. Most importantly is funding from other agencies. While this is often guaranteed, it does come with stipulations so it forces managers to follow pre-scribed policies/procedures. Overall though, there are highly dedicated and hard working individuals that work here. I feel extremely respected and feel as though my concerns can and will be addressed based on the large picture. There is a lot of autonomy, it can get busy but I've never felt like I've been a clock watcher. So far, a great place to work. 
I was previously concerned about the negative reviews that I saw but have not found those issues to be the case. I also think that there is a new set of managers/employees that are working to change the culture in a positive way!

Very unfair hiring and promotional decisions by management that are based on favoritism versus actual skillet. Instead of supportive treatment, staff are treated in punitive and unfair measures. It's a very toxic environment which executive management is complicit in enabling under the leadership of the CEO and CPO. It's unfortunate that many staff do not stay long due to this toxic work environment while the Board of Directors are unaware that this occurring. There should be an overhaul of the current management in place which will greatly improve staff retention and also create new policies and procedures.

We have exceptional staff that work tirelessly to meet the needs of high risk clients in an office culture that is chaotic and fosters burnout. Staff and middle management are over worked by the executive leadership team that never seems to really know what it is doing and is at times mean, particularly the Director of Programs. Company priorities are constantly changing with little or no advance notice from the leadership team. Although the CEO that left a few months ago was strong, the new CEO seems nice (only met him once) but like a deer in the head lights, completely unprepared for managing a company of this size.

The mission of SF Pretrial and the people who work here are what keep me inspired. We support a challenging population of people who are released from jail, so there is no doubt we have to take care of each other and be aware of the environment that creates. SF Pretrial has a higher than usual total compensation package for non-profits doing similar work and we strive to create a positive and supportive workplace.

Limited diversion impact. Accommodation for parents was not good, and schedule change requests for childcare usually ended in a conversation with their lawyer. Management, mid and high-level, is not supportive. No hazard pay. Unusually high turnover rate. Good pay and benefits.

fast paced, detail oriented, and quick turn around. Great staff and management. Learned a lot of useful skills and databases. The hardest part of the job was seeing the inmates in custody not happy about the justice system.

I love Pretrial!!! I'd stay with them forever if it were possible.

I feel like Management isn’t supportive and not knowledgeable about the work we do. It’s a great idea but not being executed correctly by upper management! 

The job consisted of making sure homeless people were able to have accountability for their court appearances. We attempted to meet mental health service needs for the homeless population.

The agency is often in a state of flux and high turnover with management staff and higher ups. Good entry level option but the ability to grow can be limited depending on how small your department is.
