And I thought Working for the Gov't was a Bureaucratic Mess...

Pros

Great co-workers who are incredibly dedicated, knowledgable, and supportive. Employees don't work on any Jewish holidays. Donors (aka Lay Leaders) get to feel as if they are involved in AJC's advocacy - not just making a donation - because they are given leadership positions within the organization.

Cons

Regional offices are not well-staffed. Salaries are low, especially when considering the number of evenings and weekends employees typically work. Lay Leaders (i.e. donors to whom we give volunteer positions within the organization) often wield excessive influence. Relationship between Lay Leaders and staff can often be strained and awkward.

Mission driven people. Terrible management

Business outlook

Pros

Individuals at this organization are all incredibly dedicated to their mission.

Cons

Salaries are LOW. It is next to impossible to get any time of raise or promotion- the smallest raise can take years. Not a place to build your career long term. Great mission, but good intentions do not pay the bills. Management is largely out of touch with what the organization actually does. Staff have been stuck in crisis management mode for a year, which is taking a toll on its staff.
