Vera Institute of Justice

The work done for clients are absolutely necessary and can be rewarding. However, management was an issue with employees having little to no support or guidance on our every day workload. Morale was incredibly low and as a result high turn over rates was the norm. If organizational changes were made and supportive competent management was in place, this would make for a very productive  and successful program. Alas, it didn't seem like much  change will be implemented so I made that change and left.

The colleagues at this organization were mostly great and promoted a culture of service and partnership. However there are deep and unrelenting diversity problems. Only certain types of people thrive at this organization. The management is not great and the organization is extremely hierarchical so there was no way to avoid the top down way of doing literally everything. 

Vera is an amazing place to work. I worked here as a Temp for several months and I loved the culture. Vera has an amazing work culture and encouraged family life balance. I live in Long Island and look forward to my work day there although I had the commute home. Vera does amazing work for prison reform and immigration and I believe their mission. If you have an opportunity to work for Vera, please join their team, believe me, you will not regret it.

I worked at Vera for a demonstration project and my experience with them overlooking and promoting our work was positive.  I had limited contact with the staff and facilities.  We did participate in all agency activities and benefits.

When I originally started working here it was great but in my last 6 months things have started to change and it only took away from  me loving to come to work.  Upper Management need to take more time to listen to their employees.

Vera Institute is a great company for the fact that everybody in the office is really nice and helpful.  They are extremely flexible because they treat their employees with care. They also one of the top companies that help fight against criminal justice.

Vera Institute is a very good organization that focuses on social justice and reforms. The company culture is pretty decent and they value diversity and opinionated responses within the work environment.

The office always has good energy and a level of professionalism. Having to rely on other government agencies can be difficult and challenging at times but the mission makes it all worth it.

Wonderful employer, supervisor and work environment. I had a 3-year temporary position. I would go back in an instant. It was one of the most meaningful jobs I have ever had.

Hardworking multi-tasking staff members who get the job done.  Responsible, conscientious colleagues who care about the clients they service. The program is innovative in its holistic model for addressing their needs.
