Pros

I have been with CDI for 3 years and it has been a great team to work with and we are doing powerful work together. We are given a lot of creative freedom and respect. We have a skilled team of people that bring different experiences and backgrounds into the organization. Our work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients by creating space for them to take on cooperative ownership of a business.

Cons

Working remotely can be challenging for some people as it can limit the in-person connections that you have with co-workers, but we often spend a lot of time with clients and have at least two staff retreats a year. There is so much to learn about the work and the organization, which can be daunting at first, but there is a strong focus on learning and professional development.

Pros

CDI does positive work and employees are highly motivated to work hard, as they value the work that they are doing. CDI has also been working on the way that the organization functions internally: clarifying roles, responsibilities, decision making, strategic initiatives, etc.; resulting in a healthy, transparent organization that values and incorporates employee ideas and feedback. Great place to work!

Cons

Not really 'Cons', but things to keep in mind: CDI's goals for transformation of the economy are wide ranging, so there is always work to be done. Not a job for or a place for people who want to just 'coast'. This is also a virtual organization with everyone working from home, so you have to be self motivated and disciplined.
