Pros

non-profit. good cause. decent pay for me, but not for everyone

Cons

company has 7 (passion, innovation, collaboration, respect, trust, appreciation, and results orientated) values but does not adhere to majority of them. departments do not work well together. people do not know what others do even within departments. management does not do a good job of showing appreciation. there is no innovation here with ideas being shut down or new ideas taking too long to implement. people lack respect. very heavy e-mail company. lack of company culture in main office. not an environment that can cultivate new talent/high turnover. poor management in all levels. caliber of people's work is poor.

Pros

More vacation time than you know what to do with and good health insurance.

Cons

The entire organization needs to be reworked from the top down. Lack of structure, national team doesn't listen to chapters and rules with more of an iron fist when they don't always know our demographics. Felt like our chapter would take two step forward and ten back all the time. Employees are overworked and under appreciated. Lack of development knowledge in chapters especially when it comes to the ED and some of the mangers. I managed a walk when I was the coordinate and the manager knew nothing about the logistics or anything that had to do with the walk besides the "call" list. (Not everyone wants to be called and solicited the entire walk season- fyi). Sad to have to leave an organization that is so close to my heart but it really feels like no one cares what's going on in the chapters unless you're not making your goals.
