A remarkable, challenging organization

Pros

Incredibly smart & mission driven people work at AF. My job is at network support, which is more of a regular office environment. We're slowly but surely building a strong organizational culture. Very inspirational leaders. Very competitive pay for non-profit sector.

Cons

AF has so much turnover, and the world of education is changing so fast, that the organization is in a constant state of crisis. The leaders are more comfortable rallying the troops to rise to these crises than they are setting up systems to actually work smarter not harder. Hence the turnover.
