Pros

Great benefits if you stay long enough to take advantage of them.

Cons

Very toxic environment with high turnover rate poor leadership. In the 6 months that I was there, I saw over a dozen people come in and then get fired between 4 weeks to 2 months later. The environment is toxic and cliqueish. Middle management leadership is very poor with very little direction given. Environment across teams is toxic, condescending, and verbally abusive. I witnessed others screamed at and berated by their managers over trivial matters out of their control. Managers also play favorites and set unrealistic expectations for those that dont fall into that category, while putting their favorites on a pedestal and assigning the easy work to.

Pros

This organization makes internal mobility a priority by focusing on career conversations with staff, their learning and development platform, recognition of great work, mentoring programs, and opportunities for employees to connect outside of their roles. It's a mission-driven organization where staff feel that their opinions are valued and that the work that they do is important, no matter their role. Incredible leads in the C-suite and regions that use feedback to drive change and results. When they say competitive pay from other non-profits, they mean it.

Cons

Department structure can be kind of confusing at times. Several training and development teams for systems, so it's hard to know who to go to first. Limited clarity on the structure of the Technology support teams. Always introducing new systems into the organization for efficiency, except certain aspects of existing software are not being maximized to their full potential. Multiple systems cause overwhelm for new hires as they start since there is no central location ("one-stop-shop") for them to find their resources.
