Pros

Some days you really feel like you are making a difference, but that is the exception rather than the standard. Pretty amazing volunteers who are willing to give so much to the organization because they believe in the mission. Getting deployed to disasters can be exciting (but draining)

Cons

TONS of workplace drama, no support from colleagues, and incompetent managers that called in HR too late. The team was loosing long term, reliable volunteers due to unhappiness with paid staff managerial styles. Expected to be on call 24/365

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
