Pros

PTO is a lot more gracious than other places. Most of your coworkers are some of the brightest people you can work with. Great location for restaurants and places to work out during lunch.

Cons

Micro Management Central. Upper Management is very secretive about status of company and employee opportunities as well as the general operation of the company. Senior Management only promotes from within their small inner circle. Large disconnect from the working class of employees and the ones who make the decisions. Very minimal if any payraise at all. If the President and VP’s don’t like you for personal reasons it’s safe to say you won’t go far here. Outside the circle of upper management the tenure is 5 years or less. That speaks volumes. Many of my coworkers are actively applying for jobs elseware as our contributors are not valued.

Pros

Gain experience with the biggest Texas state community development grant writer and administrator working across the state. Lots of work with Low Income Tax Credit Housing projects, too. Educated and experienced staff. Office is casual.

Cons

Work is under constant high pressure. The stressful environment can lead to friction between staff members. The owner is crude and an ass--and would not dispute that description. The atmosphere at the firm will never change.

Pros

-Your time is spent adding value to the state of Texas -The company actually cares about their employees, and they show in their actions as well as their words -Management gives you the freedom to use creative solutions to get the job done -Time off is unquestioned and accrued at a very fair rate -Compensation is fair, as well as random bonuses -No culture of micro-management, but also a safe environment to ask questions (even if you've asked them before) without being made to feel bad or incompetent for asking -Sense of job security, both with individual projects and the constant growth of the company -Continued WFH without any pressure on anyone to show up to the office if they are uncomfortable with current COVID cases

Cons

-Reply-all emails (hardly a concern in the grand scheme of things) -No stipend for using personal tools/services for business -Sometimes have to deal with government agencies that lack an appropriate sense of urgency (not within GW)
