Pros

Really valuable mission, great coworkers, great opportunities to make connections with disability advocates

Cons

Pay well below market rate even taking into account that it is a non-profit, lack of clear direction for the organization as a whole, seems to take advantage of the energy of young employees, especially young women (although this is endemic to the non-profit world) and should compensate them better for their efforts.

Pros

good opportunity to learn about disability and inclusion

Cons

questionable practices, micromanaging, unclear expectations and timelines, poor communication systems, outdated practices, very high turnover rate, takes advantage of the energy of young people, poor compensation, unorganized, poor training, it says a lot when people don't eat lunch advice for any job: make sure they follow employment laws, and the best people to work with are the ones with fulfilling lives outside of work
