      Pros

      I’ve been here over a year now and see why people stay for a long time. Interesting work, flexibility, you have resources available to you to get things done.

      Cons

      It can be challenging working with other departments sometimes (there can be a sense of competition rather than a one team, one fight mentality). And if your boss isn’t a good boss, that can be really rough.

      Pros

      The ability to work remotely

      Cons

      As a contractor, there are no routine yearly reviews with management, so you didn't hear if there are areas of improvement needed (some may think this is a pro) In general, if you are performing well your contract auto renews No opportunity to advance and become a staffer--this was very rare within my dept

      Great Culture - Deceptive Compensation Practices

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the nicest people you will ever work with. Strong social mission and people really care about each other. You do get the bonus each year.

      Cons

      Senior leadership (VP and above) need serious development. The bonuses at this level are so extreme that most (not all) just focus on getting their bonus. Also, there is extreme downward pressure on wages. My salary was frozen for 5 years and they finally came out and admitted that they were changing the pay ranges. I went from having $40 of upward mobility, to being told I was over the salary cap. They say they won't cut your pay, but what they do is make it impossible for you to change positions. They would not consider me for VP positions that I was clearly qualified for, and if I had taken a lateral position they said I would have to take a $25K pay cut.
