Pros

Sense of helping the community, decent salary, okay benefits, good work experience in the field of grant management and administration

Cons

There was blatant favoritism by the Director, to the point that people were promoted to positions that they had no experience or educational training in whatsoever. She would also "target" certain people she didn't like and make them miserable until they left. The CEO was condescending - I can't tell you how many times he called me "kiddo" in the office and demanded immediate responses from everyone to his random "inspirational" that emails he sent out. Hopefully things have changed.

Pros

A sense of helping your fellow man. Spacious work areas. Kind co-workers to work with. Challenging. Good stepping stone to open up additional job opportunities. Great networking profession. Meet a great network of non profit organizations full of generous kind loving people. Invaluable experience - good & bad.

Cons

WFN consulting was created by a great man who created a company to help communities optimize the utility of federal funds available for community development with an emphasizes on protected classes. Even though WFN was a private company it's goals coincided with the goals of the community/government it served. In 2013 the last original Director retired and with it went all semblance of the former organization. Management is young, unexperienced, and over zealous with their conclusions. As a result, there is not any feeling of job security and trust in management is constantly in question. I do not not suggest that the president and director, with whom I worked with, did not care about their employees or the well being of the company. However, underdeveloped "get well" plans were put in place that undermined their authority and eventually the respect of the employees that worked for them. I can admit I learned everything not to do as a manager/supervisor at WFN which has proven to be a very affective reference in my current position as a supervisor and I would not be able to apply these concepts had I not been subject to them at WFN.
