Pros

Local offices are deeply rooted to their communities and are well positioned to bring LISC’s resources to bear on the most challenging issues.

Cons

- Not enough investment in or support for local offices. - Grant making criteria is too stringent. We can’t often support the organizations we say we’re here to help. - Poor internal customer service. Too much focus on bureaucracy and process and not enough focus on how to actually carry out the mission. - Not much room for growth within local offices - Job titles in local offices are meaningless. POs in one office might carry out the same functions of a SPO in another office.
