Pros

With a full staff, and reasonable expectations could be a great job. Pay was good for the expected work.

Cons

Too much drama and gossip , entertained by the 45 yr old managers. The pay was pretty ok for the work, but then they became unappreciative and begun to push us to produce as if we were overly staffed, when we only had half a crew. It became tiring , stressful, worried about too much including what was being said about you by management on phone calls. Disgusting. Also terrible favoritism. One employee chased out about 4 hard workers by bullying them , the vp Is his friend so they laugh about it. You’ll work about 50 hours a week and then get shamed for wanting a day off, while others will just not show up with no penalty. If you’re an honest worker, they’ll overwork and treat you like dirt under their shoe.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
