      Pros

      The organization offers great benefits and salary packages. They have a great work life balance/ The organization strives to really put the needs of seniors on the forefront of every decision they make.

      Cons

      Depending on your position it is hard to move up. I have found that rather then promoting from within they would prefer to hire from outside the company.

      I got to work for an awesome Not For Profit group and help needy people in the area have heat and utilities in the winter months. I worked with the nicest people ever!

      A Mixed Bag

      Pros

      Excellent benefits and above average compensation. A wide array of benefits including a pension plan, fraud watch, good health plan, immediate match and 401k vesting, caregiving leave, and AARP membership. A truly outstanding benefits package. A great mission driven organization. Despite the issues/cons there are several true bright spots- 1. the state organization- they are truly employee and member focused, 2. the chief marketing officer if an outstanding leader, 3. after a long dormant state the HR function is finding its feet and offering exceptional strategic development and hiring services.

      Cons

      There are several warning signs...the CEO is wedded to consulting advice received from a single vendor and discounts employee contributions in favor of consultants. The executives (for the most part) tend to tell the CEO exactly what is expected and rarely if ever speak up, so the CEO who is dependent on having good information only received patronizing style advice from her closest "advisors". If you are a supervisor your success will largely depend on who you report to- if you are in the states, HR, communications, marketing you will likely do well and be supported. Otherwise expect that you will be stifled in getting your staff, or yourself promoted even if you have over whelming evidence to support your case. You can also expect that is you have a "protected" employee- one who is in favor with the executives, is somehow seen as indispensable, or has some "dirt on someone", then you ca forget about taking any action to remedy the situation.
