Pros

Social mission organization with purpose. Some room to work the system and do good work. Not everyone is there to do good, they want to talk and do the bare minimum.

Cons

Where do I start: Mismanaged funds, inflated budgets, no investment in competitive talent. Sub par performers who keep their jobs by using consultants. Ethics violations are out in the open, no one says or does anything. Smart people get frustrated and end up leaving. There is room for con-artists to spin wheels and sell bridges to nowhere. Job security!!!!! Poor communication. Leadership talks big, but doesn't listen or care about the employees.

Pros

Great benefits package for a nonprofit. Generous sick and leave time, including hours allotted for community service. Talented staff (though not always being encouraged to work to their full potential).

Cons

A nonprofit that adopted a corporate culture resulted in constant change (departmental shifts and re-shifts and disruptive staff lay-offs). Divisions and departments still not integrated in work despite years of management talk of integration. Executive and upper level management is out of touch with staff. Their focus is bottom-line ,not the service mission as a nonprofit. Their focus is also their own advancement.
