Pros

Knowing that at the end of the day -- you are helping those with cancer. Unlike for-profit organizations -- it seems that everyone here is working towards a common goal of eliminating cancer. The benefits package is very generous - 4 weeks of vacation on day one. Management seems concerned about work/life balance and getting time off is not a problem. This company spends time hiring the right people.

Cons

Very tight budget -- bad financial times. That said, I believe that they are doing all the right things to ensure that we continue our success with minimal interruption to peoples lives.

Pros

Benefits package is great: medical, dental, vision, 403B, plenty of PTO Leadership is very easy to speak to, direct supervisors are always available and accommodating Schedule changes and requesting time off is never an uphill battle, they try their best to accommodate your needs and if they're unable to, offer alternatives and keep you apprised of when they will be able to. GREAT work life balance

Cons

Pay could be higher No annual bonuses (although there are performance awards)

Pros

Mission-driven work so feels like you are helping the world, your core team can be very collaborative and supportive, flexible remote work, good PTO and work / life balance.

Cons

Management makes or breaks the culture, when I first started it was a great place to work, then the shift in management changed a lot over the years. Currently, I would not recommend anyone to work here. The pay does not keep up with the cost of living, and no matter how much you go above and beyond, you will not see any change or recognition (title change, pay bumps, nothing). It is a stagnant place to work. Leadership asks for our thoughts every quarter, knows what people are unhappy about, and doesn't do much or anything about it. Instead they are constantly restructuring the organization and there is no stability or consistency in processes or communication.
