Pros

Volunteers are amazing and incredibly generous with time and money. Marketing team is strong, and there are certain staff that are really top notch.

Cons

Current environment is very stressful as donations are down. Despite this Senior management Expects double digit annual increases in revenue and nothing to back up up how to get there. When fundraisers can't deliver they quickly cite nonperformance -- Crazy turnover across the board. Unethical pocket lining at highest level is concerning.

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing volunteers, top notch colleagues, commendable mission

Cons

It's funny that when the CEO treated senior management badly, the International Board stepped in and removed him. But when staff in the field, who are raising the money are treated badly by management, it is ignored and nothing is done. A definite double standard for staff.,
