      Pros

      Mission driven. Many dedicated employees that believe they are making a difference. Good work / life balance at the corporate headquarters in NYC.

      Cons

      there have been 4 (?) CEOs over the the last 10 years and it's taken its toll. It is too top heavy in nyc: Too many VPs and it's politically difficult to navigate and progress - the "team" attitude is missing. It's hard to get promoted if you are internal. Better off leaving and coming back if you want to move up and get more money. New staff are paid much much more than than tenured staff. They also do not invest in current staff - professional development training is impossible to get if you are not a fundraiser.

      Pros

      Their mission and purpose is good!

      Cons

      Very poor treatment of employees. They seem to forget that the employees are the heart of the organization. Upper management seems to have lost their way and they don't keep the mission in mind. Little to no support from upper management.

      Once a "Best place to work" has degraded to the worst non-profit for employees

      Pros

      Passionate people working toward a great cause. They had a clear vision with precise goals and a path to get there. (Now, the path is unclear, the leadership has lost it's way in research and volunteers question the CEO's approach to finding a cure.) Fundraising team is incredibly passionate and caring for the donors, volunteers and supporters of the Mission.

      Cons

      The CEO has begun to micro-manage every aspect of the business from Research to Fundraising - but he's expert in neither. Both the Research and Fundraising staff are frustrated and demoralized as they are second-guessed at every turn. Don't come here with a brain and a plan to use it, it'll be quickly discarded as unnecessary - simply do as you are told and change direction regularly.
