Pros
Somehow this organization continues to attract highly qualified, talented, and friendly lower level employees. The trauma bond they share leads to some great friendships. You will get a lot of experience with changing plans quickly, problem solving, and managing interpersonal conflict. There is no pay structure and wildly differing salaries between colleagues of the same tier, so depending on how desperate they are at your time of hire you can potentially negotiate for a high salary. Insurance benefits were decent, which will help when you inevitably start therapy.
Cons
The honeymoon period is exciting because you have so much freedom to shape your program how you want. This is because there is no institutional knowledge keeping and plans/connections/ideas/resources/etc leave with employees roughly every 6 months. You will receive no feedback or guidance on your work, and then every few months you will be berated for not "following the plan" that never existed. Any goals you are given are incredibly unrealistic and are constantly shifting, along with your job description. As you settle in you'll start to uncover the network of burnt bridges with other organizations, and you just might get to be the scapegoat when management burns more with false promises and unmet deliverables. There is nothing that hasn't already been said in other reviews regarding culture. Toxic toxic toxic. This place makes you feel anxious, overworked, and undervalued. Don't take a job here if you can help it.

Pros
-There was a great and passionate group of junior staff working there for a long time, but they have all found better opportunities now -You will have to learn how to manage multiple projects at once because they are so understaffed you will be expected to do everything -You will learn how to manage up, as your manager will most likely quit soon after you are hired, and you will be expected to fill a bigger role with no compensation increase -You will have a lot to talk about in your next interviews because you will be part of every project's process from start to finish -You will learn to understand your personal work-life balance needs/boundaries, but only as they are consistently broken and ignored.
Cons
-Lack of organization means you will spend more time trying to find past information than being able to make progress -Your job description means nothing, once you are on board anything is fair game -No strategic plan or set goals, however you will be reprimanded for not reaching the imaginary goals that were supposedly there all along -Consistently set up for failure, whether by upper management deciding not to do projects last minute you put a lot of time/hard work into or giving you impossible tasks to begin with -"Family-oriented workplace" is a term tossed around to help cover the toxic and hostile environment that upper management creates. The longer you work there, the meaner they become. The first few months are a honeymoon phase that will not last.
