Pros

You have a great opportunity to help others.

Cons

Where do I start? Cut throat is the name of the game when it concerns middle management. Since all of the Employment and Training positions are grant funded your Team Manager could eventually be your co-worker. The mentality is to prevent growth to prevent potential competition. Teamwork does not exist in this organization. These are the worst managers that I have ever encountered with regards to how far they will go to stab you in the back. If you can...stay away from this place!

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
