Pros

The work is meaningful and rewarding and opportunities to travel when disasters happen and make great friendships.

Cons

Terrible pay for the amount of work expected. No overtime or bonus pay. Work practices/policies are always changing and go in circles. It can be very stressful work and many employees don't handle it well and the worst can come out in them. Very top heavy management, you'll have 5 bosses minimum.

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.
