Pros

- You get to work with some really talented people

Cons

-Membership leadership structure makes it so that there is no ownership to your work: you don't get to have an opinion or make suggestions on how to make the association better. -Little to no training for new employees -No money for projects; you're always scraping a budget together -High performers only get increased workloads, across the board raises, not based on merit -Rounds and rounds of layoffs with no plans to back fill open positions -Low employee morale -They don't really care about diversity and inclusion even though it's one of their "association goals" -A lot of uncomfortable infighting within teams and even other sections
