Pros

Great Mission. The chance to develop a lot of new skills, especially for someone out of college. You work really hard but you can bond really well with your coworkers. Very good life/work balance (lots of paid time off, vacation day accruals)

Cons

Constant change from the National/regional level. Increasing bureaucracy. You work a lot of weekends and evenings.

Pros

This is an important cause and we all feel inspired to raise money for research.

Cons

Too much emphasis on event fundraising goals for the few people who can afford to attend them and not enough on public engagement/outreach. Not enough work/life balance. Aside from the CEO, senior management is a bit out of touch.
