The pay is terrible as expected with a non profit organization but what you have to endure to work here from management and the company itself was not expected. As a middle aged woman I have worked for many years in many different fields and  different employers and I have never came across a turnover rate such as this. Any input from employees that could help with this is not only shut down but sometimes receives discipline for not being happy in the position. Improvement will not come within this company and changes will never be made. There are different positions and some are better than others. Hamilton county advocates are overwhelmed each day by a heavy workload while enduring constant drama and poor management. Some other counties are underwhelmed and spend each day doing very little except for being a walking commercial for the company and doing outreach. When the outreach is unsuccessful you are required to do more and more outreach. It is held against you when these outreach activities are held after hours or weekends and you choose scheduled family activities rather than your company. You are deemed not a team player and written up. I have never described a workplace of toxic until I became employed here. It is sad that a company that's mission is to help and empower others treats employees as such. Please proceed with caution when choosing this employer. Also, no one in this company is your friend. Each day will break you down.

They say they care about people but it’s just about the grant money. They don’t even care about their employees. If they get concerned about their grant money they will find a reason to get rid of someone. It’s not like a doctors office where they charge insurance so they worry about the grant money from the state above all. They even tell you only 40 hours a week and they won’t pay overtime but if you have to go over they don’t care. They won’t tell you if you made a mistake they will just go behind your back and discuss it like high school. Places that have safety rules like roofers and get charged if someone gets hurt on job tell folks what they did wrong and keep them. This place doesn’t get charged and still acts like high school brats spreading secrets among eachother. Save your time and energy avoid this place! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The agency holds true to their mission and core values.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I haven't encountered anything with the agency itself that is particularly stressful, just the regular stress that comes with working in the social service field.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I find the work environment great. The office space is generally quiet and non-chaotic, which is what I prefer. I feel comfortable seeking support or guidance when I need it. There is also active steps being taken to improve culture overall which, in my opinion, demonstrates the agency takes feedback seriously.

Come In and getting straight to work focusing on the survivors and making a difference and impact in survivors life .

Please believe these reviews. The whole organization is dysfunctional. Supervisors are disrespectful and retaliate if you try to stand up for yourself. You’re paid nothing and you are expected to do stuff that your supervisor should be handling. If Tina still works there… run. Numerous people have complained about her and the organization does nothing. They continue to lose good advocates due to how miserable the job makes you. You would think that if multiple different people complain, there’s an issue. WHW doesn’t care. 

I met some lovely people working at WHW; this would matter more if these great employees and people would stay. The biggest issues are the leadership and management, lack of proper training, disorganization, poor communication, and random, frequent changes to "rules". The pay is not good, coupled with the fact that parking and healthcare are expensive. This would be a decent entry-level job if management was competent and respectful to employees. I would never recommend working here unless you were desperate for a job. 

I learned so much about domestic violence and SA and how to professionally support someone going through these crisis situations. The hardest part of this work is the emotional labor that goes into supporting someone in a crisis situation. You have to practice adequate self care if you're going to survive this sort of work. The amount of brutality you see can be absolutely demoralizing if you don't take care of yourself.

I genuinely cannot express this enough... Do not work here unless you are incredibly desperate. Management is an absolute s?!t show and they are all in it just to look good. They seem put on a show like everything is perfect, when internally they don't have anything figured out and the staff are a mess and unhappy. HR does not care, they always are with upper management. Management does A LOT of hiding and covering up flaws. I feel like they may be abusing their funding as well. 

I love nonprofit work but this place is the most unorganized, unsupporting, chaotic mess I've been apart. Really made me think I was the problem. Culture is toxic, people are always in your business micromanaging even if they aren't from your department, and anything that goes wrong is blamed on you. This might not be a terrible gig for a first time job or getting into the market but this is not a friendly or inviting work environment. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, very degrading and culture is toxic. Told to hold head down for being perceived as a privilege white person. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The judgement and interactions with tip leadership. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is toxic and micromanaged to the extreme.
