Pros

The staff are great: smart, experienced, dedicated, and fun. Some senior managers are enlightened. The programming makes a difference.

Cons

Hours are long, flex time is non-existent, and working from home is frowned upon. The office is a cubicle farm. There are no job descriptions, no wage scales, and no advancement scheme. Staff development opportunities are minimal. Travel is extensive, and is in coach class only, irrespective of distance or duration. There is no policy regarding days off in return for weekends spent working and travelling. Vacation time is stingy at 3 weeks. Program staff spend a disproportionate amount of their time preparing materials for Board meetings rather than developing programs and supporting partner organizations. Budget constraints are killing this organization and driving away good staff. Management maintains overhead at an absurdly low level compared to similar foundations.
