Corporate events director

Pros

For nonprofit fundraising they pay relatively well, good insurance, $150 to use towards gym membership or approved wellness expense, opportunity for yearly bonus based on your individual results as well as the over all event results

Cons

No work/life balance - always connected and often times worked 50-60 hours a week, aggressive goals that don't always fit the market you are in, lots of turn over, pressured to push companies for more money even when it is to the detriment of the relationship, very much a transaction nonprofit they don't value relationships with community partners

Pros

They are working towards a good cause.

Cons

Bunch of micro-managers that are focused on marketing their brand and making their top notch volunteers happy, than actually developing or implementing programs that will help achieve their mission.

Worst mistake of my career, and will be yours too if you come on board

Pros

Pay check and health insurance.

Cons

No work life balance. No training. Very high expectations of new hires, with little time for acclimation. Job misrepresentation. Demeaning and mean spirited management. Intranet is a joke. HR is a joke. VPs receive nice fat yearly bonuses. Business developers struggle with unrealistic budget goals, and thereby cannot receive a bonus if 'not to plan'.
