Cons
-Recent restructure has resulted in confusion of roles, loss of key staff with institutional and subject matter knowledge and low employee morale.
-Lack of focus/direction from the organization's leadership; the organization tends to chase sponsor dollars without fully thinking through whether or not the funded work is going to advance the mission, or can be carried out by the staff on hand.
-Programs need to be updated to remain marketable.
-Ever-changing brand strategy, verbiage, marketing materials and focus is confusing to staff, affiliates and the outside world.
-Heavy workload, at times unmanageable or requiring staff to work on projects outside of their job descriptions. More people managing programs (or fewer programs in general) would be helpful.
-Limited opportunity for career advancement or professional development.
-Limited fundraising strategy; reliance on what the organization did in past years to meet revenue goals vs. staying apprised of new trends in philanthropy and evolving to stay relevant.
-There is a recent focus on international growth which is concerning, considering the organization's limited bandwidth and lack of presence in major U.S. markets.
