Pros

Great benefits, work/life balance, work from home, yearly Xmas bonus regardless of performance, yearly cost of living raises.

Cons

Where to start? I guess one word really sums up the NEW USA Funds...Nepotism. You aren't going to get a job or have a chance for career growth without being well connected to the new leadership OR if you don't work for a "consulting" firm who is owned also by a friend or family member close to new leadership. And let's stay on consulting for a minute - USA Funds loves consultants. If there was a consulting firm that charged you 10's of thousands of dollars to tell you the correct way to walk and chew gum they'd hire them. USA Funds rarely want to hear from their internal talent as they'd rather shell out thousands for a "consultant" to tell them the exact same information or do (in most cases) a much crappier job managing and executing a project. Consultants are necessary in some cases but wow does USA Funds love consultants. Creativity/learning from failures etc etc - there is none, USA Funds is where creativity goes to die. Internal communication. work flow management, priorities? There is none...moving on. To wrap up - USA Funds is in trouble. They're sitting on a pile of cash and investments however if they don't sort out their internal communication and corporate priorities they'll continue to lose talented people and retain those who are only there for the cushy benefits and paycheck.

Pros

• well-adjusted responsive staff • living wage paying internship • workload doesn’t feel terrible • tons of connections from grounded executive leadership

Cons

•regular corporate workplace matters, but they’re normally handled quite well •they’re back on forth on whether they hire interns afterwards and leaning more towards no in general

Pros

I'm surrounded by brilliant, hard working people at Strada who care about making a difference in higher education / employment in the US. And I typically work less than 50 hours per week. And for a non-profit, you will rarely find better pay / benefits.

Cons

We're still finalizing our strategy, so sometimes decisions are slow to get made / it's unclear who has the authority to make them. But there aren't shareholder or anything, so it's best we get them right rather than rush.
