Pros

This company has a great mission with average pay and benefits. Direct mid-level managers and teams are supportive. The culture has a family-feel with many tenured employees.

Cons

The professional positions lack opportunity to move up in this company. There is a focus on money and profits, and less focus on people and mission. There seems to be an underlying culture of loyalty over integrity in the senior management. Most upper management has been there for years and will likely stay in their positions until they retire.

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.
