Pros
- Staff is motivated and dedicated to helping the contract management profession (which some of the staff didn't know about when they started). Staff always keeps members top of mind. - Office culture is hard working, but also understanding when people have appointments or commitments outside of work. - Paid federal holidays, and the week between Christmas and New Years the office is closed. - The organization is well positioned in its industry, and has great respect among its members. - Each department is trusted by management to run their program area with minimal interference, if anything just support. - Many staff have been promoted from within. More than half of the departments employ someone who started in member services or another department.
