Pros
Great benefits and location. Many dedicated and intelligent people. A good number truly believe in the mission of the organization and have dedicated their careers to improving the lives of those over age 50. The pay is fair, if not generous, for the area with opportunities for change and occasionally advancement. Policies for work and life balance are progressive as well as an offered sabbatical after several years of employment
Cons
in some areas it is a good-ole-boys area where friends hire friends in order to have the company pay them to play golf together. Unfortunately, those who are in favor are given far too much latitude in behavior and how they treat others. If one is favored and behaves badly, too bad for the recipient of that behavior. The response is usually, "well, she is smart". Far too much time is spent on contemplating how to do work than actually doing work.
