Pros

As a Catholic, having access to the Eucharist and Sacraments on a daily basis.

Cons

* Lack of job stability - four rounds of layoffs in the last 19 months (not including any one of the many people they fired because they sporadically didn't "align" with the political climate of the organization at the time) * Management and Executive team is manipulative and political, consistently going back on promises and commitments. Back-channeling is excessive. *Lack of vision - products and priorities change with the wind and without any reason. *Unreasonable expectations of workload and hourly input from staff- all for the "mission", which has no clear definition. * Leadership painfully out of touch - out of touch with what the Church actually needs - out of touch with their employee's abilities, bandwidth, and workloads - out of touch with what is actually the fruit of their work. Numbers are always inflated and over-exaggerated. * Bad financial management - blowing through millions of donor dollars on failed, misinformed and irresponsible products developed. *VERY male-dominated work environment - Several complaints of misogynistic behavior.
