Pros

Staff was very friendly and everyone was respected regardless of their duties. Regular reviews were conducted by managers in order to help employees improve their performance. The Program Officers were extremely knowledgeable, sharp and had strong relationships within the community.

Cons

Communication was sometimes problematic especially when a major decision was made to take the organization in a different direction. This caused moral to suffer and led to an exodus of talented employees. You can learn a lot about the nonprofit community and philanthropy but there is very little room for advancement beyond the role that you are hired for.
