Pros

Shared common alignment towards putting the mission first. They really care about the people they help and maximizing their impact. Most of the executive team is really good with great rapport. This is one of the few places that even with previous incarceration or other typical challenges, you can become a manager and really contribute as well as make some good money. They truly believe in second chances.

Cons

CEO is very new and does not exactly fit in with the rest of the executive team; has not yet earned the respect of the staff throughout the organization even at lower levels. Poor communication of all the good they do; most of the public is aware of only about 10% of the incredible mission work they do. CEO recently mandated certain days in the office, even though allowing people to work remotely was working really well. Sure a couple people probably abused it but why screw that up in a tight labor market like this when 98% of the staff are not abusing it. Heck - you probably save that 2% in less toilet paper and water usage to offset.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

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.
