Pros

Good benefits, 35 hour work week. Members are great and very dedicated and involved.

Cons

The organization is entirely too top-heavy, and decisions are made and haphazardly implemented. The organization used to appreciate its employees and promote cooperation (and advancement from within) much more than they currently do. Now they make it clear that anyone can be replaced, although they do not realize the depth of institutional knowledge they lose until after the fact. You would think NACUBO was a huge corporate entity, but they only employ 50-60 personnel.

Pros

Higher education is going through so many significant changes, it's an exciting market. Our members are the chief business officers/CFOs, their level of experience and expertise is high, and they are engaged with their association. Great office location (pre-COVID-19), salaries and benefits are fine. New CEO joined two years ago, has strong industry and association experience and vision, and is attempting to right a drifting ship, and it's proving to be challenging.

Cons

So much turmoil and restructuring, and yet still dealing with a fair amount of "this is how we've always done it" attitude. Recent layoffs were particularly challenging, losing significant institutional memory along with some highly-respected staff. And yet a few have managed to get coveted promotions - it all depends on which team you are on. Recent layoffs have left many doing multiple jobs, with seemingly little realization by leadership that certain tasks need to have someone own them. Employee benefits have been cut significantly and repeatedly over the last several years. The retirement contribution had been amazing, now it's just average.
