Pros

Fabulous coworkers; a feeling like you're actually helping the greater good; opportunity to interact with folks across the association; favorable base compensation compared with other nonprofits.

Cons

Annual merit increases are barely at cost of living increase; minimal opportunity for advancement--the organization needs more defined career pathing; when promotions are available employees are forced to go through an extremely rigorous hiring process with multiple rounds of interviews and even if one does get a promotion the maximum increase permitted was 10%.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
