Truly helps the community, and has seemingly endless resources available to them for new projects and movements. Very supportive of the LGBTQ+ community in an area where it is very much needed. They *try* to be a tight knit, family-esque work place, but the disconnect between C-Suite and those in non-supervisory roles makes this kind of a fail. However, you can tell the intentions are good, and I think that matters a bit.

The constant in-fighting amongst staff, several of the staff members are high or otherwise intoxicated most of the time, and their pay scale is awful. Paying therapists $21/hr to take on excessive case-loads, registration staff barely making more than teenagers in fast food, and their medical staff is not paid nearly enough for the workload they have to carry. Lot's of gossip from a small, multidisciplinary group of individuals that spend entirely too much time tracking the work-day, and personal lives of other staff members then discussing it.
