Business Outlook

Pros

The office is overall very friendly Medical benefits, tuition assistance, and follows federal holiday schedule

Cons

- Work life balance is nonexistent. If you want to get promoted, be prepared to go to happy hours and office events outside of work hours. You will get e-mails at all hours despite the upper level management saying how important work life balance is - Company cultural training was overkill and took time away from important projects. It felt forced and the written values were very different then the ones you saw in action - Like most nonprofits, you will never be good enough unless your whole life revolves around the organization. The pay does not reflect this, but you won't get promoted otherwise.
