Pros
The mission of NCI is admirable.
Cons
1. NCI is run at the whim of the CEO 2. I was hired to make changes, but no one wanted to change 3. Senior management and executives are paid well, but all other employees are paid embarrassingly low salaries. 4. Some of my employees hadn't received a raise in years 5. Tenure is valued over productivity 6. Technology is archaic. Leadership doesn't want to spend any $ to upgrade. 7. Financial waste is rampant 8. No one truly wants to "fix" any problems because they may "fix" themselves out of a job 9. Turnover is extremely high. Voluntary and involuntary. Talent leaves the door all the time b/c talent and innovation in back-office operations is not valued 10. Leadership only cares about what the public sees (e.g., programs, Turkey Trot, etc.) 11. Cronyism 12. HEALTH BENEFITS ARE THE WORST I'VE EVER HAD. THEY ARE A JOKE. 13. NCI will not change for the better until the CEO, well past her prime there, is replaced
