Pros

Beautifully renovated office space in downtown DC and catered All Staff meetings...good food. Interesting projects that they worked on with dynamic, dedicated colleagues.

Cons

To reiterate what the deleted comments here once said: very unfair work environment where promotion and advancement from within is rare, not living up to the principals other similar community economic development organizations abide by; and lack of diversity only recently remedied this past year makes them less of an all white organization and more of a mostly white organization.

Pros

Incredibly rewarding work. Flexible work hours and remote work possible (and pretty standard for most positions). Great benefits (employer pays all healthcare premiums, employer contributes a set amount to retirement plans, 3 weeks paid vacation, cell phone reimbursement, 5 weeks paid maternity/paternity leave, professional development, etc.). Salaries, even for entry-level employees, are comparable (if not high) for the non-profit sector. Internships are paid. Increasingly diverse workplace (majority of employees are now women). People at the organization are friendly and generally committed to dealing with problems and issues rather than ignoring them.

Cons

Rapidly growing organization, and operational and management systems are lagging behind that growth. Different positions and different programs have varying opportunities for career advancement and growth. Non-profit status means programs, positions, and advancement is often contingent on uncertain funding sources.
