Pros
Competitive salaries, flexible schedule, nationwide recognition.
Cons
Supervisors shamelessly show favoritism by giving some staff growth opportunities while making other staff stay behind, for example: sending some staff to all training and conferences available even out of state while making some staff stay behind trying to meet all grant requirements. Letting some staff take the lead in making decisions for the team and discouraging others from having a voice. Withholding information from staff, for example, they hid from their employees the fact that the building where they work will be sold and let them find out when they saw the big "for sale" sign posted on the building when they walked to work one morning. Whenever it was mentioned to supervisors about issues and conflicts that could jeopardize grants, supervisors looked the other way and even accused staff bringing the issue to their attention of creating conflict instead of trying to resolve the issues with their team. Each year they send an employee satisfaction survey which means nothing because all these issues are brought up but nothing improves or changes. Letting people stay in leadership positions after showing incompetence by letting grants laps without renewal and not giving the same opportunities to others, or people in leadership positions not being able to understand what was needed to meet grant goals. Pretty much, staff have no leadership or mentorship.
