Pros

The environment is great. It is a macro management organization. The organization is financially secure. The Senior Leadership Team empower the staff and push impact instead of numbers. The organization is financially diverse. The programs it provides are actually making a difference. It seems like one big family rather than a gossip arena.

Cons

They do not provide retirement. Because it is a non-profit the pay is below the for profit world and the resources available to the staff to service the clients can be limited. As government grants and funding dissipate, programs can be eliminated and staff laid off. The board is a non contributing board which hampers the ability to receive funds from foundations and other resources.
