Pros

LISC hires intelligent, dedicated people who are driven by their mission of developing sustainable communities. LISC is a leader in the community development field, and its work is visible everywhere. The work environment is excellent, and there's an ideal work-life balance for most people.

Cons

Some of the processes are out-dated or bureaucratic. The community development field had changed significantly in many of LISC's markets, and we're now competing with other lenders and service providers who previously were not in the field. LISC's way of doing business has not kept up with the changes, and is frequently not competitive.
