Growing organization and good place to work

Pros

Incredibly rewarding work. Flexible work hours and remote work possible (and pretty standard for most positions). Great benefits (employer pays all healthcare premiums, employer contributes a set amount to retirement plans, 3 weeks paid vacation, cell phone reimbursement, 5 weeks paid maternity/paternity leave, professional development, etc.). Salaries, even for entry-level employees, are comparable (if not high) for the non-profit sector. Internships are paid. Increasingly diverse workplace (majority of employees are now women). People at the organization are friendly and generally committed to dealing with problems and issues rather than ignoring them.

Cons

Rapidly growing organization, and operational and management systems are lagging behind that growth. Different positions and different programs have varying opportunities for career advancement and growth. Non-profit status means programs, positions, and advancement is often contingent on uncertain funding sources.

Pros

Autonomy to work remotely and shape your own immediate projects....interesting projects on community development and the opportunity to work on various projects

Cons

However, shaping one's interests and strengths to a project are constrained by Managers and other responsibilities you weren't hired to do. Lacks racial and ethnic diversity, pay is not reflective of employee's education levels (Masters degree holders make less than $50k except when male. Opportunities for career advancement goes to new employees and not longer term staff
