Pros

Made some great friends. Good work culture. Opportunities depending on who you report to. Starting to scratch the surface in Diversity, Inclusion and Equity work. Good benefits. Good work-life balance depending on who your supervisor is.

Cons

Low pay, inconsistencies in promotions and advancement, burnout, hierarchical leadership, high turnover, constant changes to structure and no real plan on supporting employees who are affected by that, which in turn creates burn out.

Pros

Good pay and benefits for the nonprofit sector. Decent work environment. Mostly very nice people. Convenient downtown location. Despite a changing focus and priorities, the mission is still important.

Cons

The board hired one very bad CEO who really hurt the organization's finances and morale, but it is working to come out of that hole. They require staff to share sleeping rooms at the conference hotel.
