Pros

- Flexible work schedule - Primarily remote - Lots of time off and holidays - Some great colleagues

Cons

- Significant organizational dysfunction and disorganization - Poor leadership/management - Unclear, lacking, and inconsistently applied organizational policies - Double standards for leadership and certain members of staff - No culture or staff synergy - toxic - Lack of buy-in and engagement from staff and volunteer leaders - Significant staff turnover - Top-down leadership structure that feels condescending, demeaning, and disconnected from staff/staff input - Top-heavy organizational structure with significant pay disparity between leadership level and regular staff - Ineffective onboarding and knowledge transfer - Overall addiction to job descriptions leaves certain staff to do work outside of their roles to make up for other staff's unwillingness to take on work - Culture of inequity, despite "commitments" to DEIB - Overall business outlook is unsure and lack of coherent mission/vision is problematic for the organization's future
