Pros

1. Free food sometimes 2. Occasionally cool clients 3. Coworkers are cool overall

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE. I once had to work until 11 p.m. on a train on a Friday night for this company. They do not know the definition of "personal life" or "work-life balance." Anyone, current or former, affiliated with this company can tell you endless horror stories about the work culture at Anne Lewis. There is pressure to not take your full lunch break; you should eat at your desk. If you leave at 6 (you know, the time you're told the day is supposed to end) people look at you weird and also no one else is leaving. That's because everyone, and I mean everyone, stays until at least 7:30 every night. And the most work comes on Fridays, so say goodbye to any Friday night plans you may have. You will also be required to occasionally work on the weekends, as if the 50-hour weeks weren't enough already.

Pros

The people who work at MissionWired are passionate about making the world a better place. It feels amazing to work somewhere that has values that align not only with the clients but also with my own. The result is a feeling of being a part of a holistic cause that is about more than just getting a paycheck. The company also really puts their money where their mouth is in terms of internal values, too, not just championing progressive causes externally, but also valuing workers with policies and resources accordingly.

Cons

The work can be emotionally taxing because we deal with causes that are critically important to the current political climate. We feel the highs and lows of the political cycle, which means we are emotionally invested in the good and bad outcomes of politics. This also means we tend to be busier during critical election periods. This also can be inspiring and so worthwhile when it feels like we've made an impact, but it is a reality of the work.

Pros

Amazing people, tries its best to be really inclusive, serves some great causes and really makes a positive impact on the world.

Cons

Pay is a bit low for some sectors of employees. Work can be stressful due to the nature of the sector. Some slightly concerning leadership churn.
