Amazing mission and volunteers. Everything else? Not so amazing.

Pros

The mission and volunteers. Some co-workers (on the chapter and national level) actually make you feel like you're part of a "team," working to make a difference. The staff in White Plains (the non-CEO's, Field Managers, etc...) are great to work with (not to mention incredibly under-appreciated).

Cons

Lack of management (on the chapter and national level), lots of extra hours and required attendance at events. If you like the constant feeling of being frazzled and burnt out, then this is the place for you. LLS used to be about teamwork and the mission. Now it's about micromanagement, personal gain and more campaign revenue. There has been a definite culture change at LLS over the years and it hasn't been in a positive direction.

Pros

Excellent benefits, great mission, potentially interesting work

Cons

Management and HR do not know what they are doing. I never got a job description. I never got annual goals. Rarely spoke to my direct manager and when I did the answer was "ask your peers" There was an environment of secrecy. Any suggestions were taken as over-stepping. Management was through intimidation and threat. My department was predominantly Subcontinental Indian male. If you are not an Asian or a male you really do not belong there. The work could be creative and interesting. Senior management has their own view of what needs to be done and a different way is not acceptable or even welcomed. Short term cost over-rides long term benefits. A constant theme was that once you stopped caring about doing quality work, you get along better and are happier. If you wanted to do a good job, there was no support to do so. There was plenty of support for mediocrity. HR did not properly onboard. Forms were not properly filed. Took forever to get a key to the door. Did not intercede when there was no job description/annual goals. I quit because I could not longer stand the pressure of never knowing what I supposed to be doing and then being literally yelled at when I asked for an answer.
