Business Outlook
Pros
Great (and very necessary) service provided to industry; Volunteer-based organization where volunteers are very passionate about what they do. Salaries and benefits are average.
Cons
Culture of "insiders" who are resistant to exploring different approaches to business. There is a constant maneuvering by higher-level employees, board members, and key industry people to find positions of power within the organization (paid and unpaid), often at the expense of good teammembers. Projects and business processes are often short-sighted and decisions are emotional rather than fact-based. The advise of team-members with expertise is often overlooked in favor of politics and personal relationships.
