Pros
I am coming up on my two year anniversary at Alliance and it has been through some major changes and accomplished a lot in that time. There is a real team spirit in many departments and good natured competiveness between the different sites. There is a culture of hard work and expectations are high, but the people who work there are extremely smart and dedicated to their jobs. I have worked in non profits most of my life, and the culture of service to the clients we serve indirectly is very important to me. The work challenges me at times and there can be a lot of learning as you go, but I feel I have good supervision and support. Benefits are good - Alliance pays full medical for us employees, and dental and vision is also available for fairly cheap. Salaries are consistent with non profit work world. Not fabulous, compared to the high end companies, but good when you consider that it is such a new company and is somewhat of a governmental agency.
Cons
I think the constant feeling of change is difficult for many of us and finding a balance between work and home is also a challenge. But both of those would be present to some degree in any job. I don't see that as unique to Alliance. There is a lot going on outside of the company that is beyond their control. For me, the pros outweigh the cons.
