Pros

There truly are none. It was astonishing to see just how short of time each non-management person was there.

Cons

Micromanaging to the hilt. The entire small office was under siege at all times by a controlling management team - you would be questioned if you got up to get a glass of water. Every process was dated - like fax machine and US mail dated with no intention of getting up to speed. The management reply to everything basically stemmed from an irrational paranoia. It was bad.

Pros

The pay rate is good (at least as far as I could tell - I never learned what anyone else was paid), and I was very excited to start as a relatively recent college graduate. This job taught me that even a lot of money cannot always make up for a truly terrible job.

Cons

There is absolutely no training, yet you are expected to know the ins and outs of their personalized database within a matter of days. The office decor is straight out 1992, the office itself is quiet and demoralizing, and if you so much as start a conversation with a coworker at the coffee pot, the Executive Director will stare at you both until you return to your desks. If you do something right, it will most likely be unacknowledged. If it is acknowledged, you will most likely be called by the wrong name. If you do something wrong, the Executive Director will directly question your competence, your capabilities and your personal character. Even if this mistake was made in your first week on the job. I left after two months, and on my last day it was revealed to me that the Executive Director had gone through my desk while I was out and read my personal notes. When I confronted her about this, she told me that I owned nothing at that desk and everything was the property of the Dermatology Foundation. If you would like a dramatized version management's behavior, please watch the movie "The Devil Wears Prada."
