Pros

Blackbaud is typically willing to work with your schedule and give additional training IF you show you are committed to the organization.

Cons

Blackbaud requires a year of employment to even allow applying to anything else internally, pay is extremely low, advancement opportunities are incredibly difficult to attain, suggestions for improvement are often ignored, advanced education means nothing to them, employee morale means little to management, EXTREMELY number centric, and ANY internal advancement will almost certainly require relocation to Charleston. In a nutshell management is willing to pay you poorly and treat you with disdain while they rack up the money. But they will work around your night class. But once you get that degree you best start applying elsewhere because they don't care.

Pros

Decent pay, remote work flexibility, you get to work with some very talented folks.

Cons

Used to be proud to work for Blackbaud but that has all but disappeared in last 2 years. Poor and ineffective leadership, false transparency, frequent layoffs, bonuses based off of stock which has been tanking. It's a sinking ship. Avoid at all costs.
