Pros
The RA has built a knowledgeable, dedicated, down-to-earth team that believes in the mission and the work that it takes to achieve it. This is evidenced in the fact that it has a lot of influence for a relatively small organization. At the same time, colleagues are friendly and have a sense of humor - which is sooo important! The benefits are great. There is room for creativity and opportunity for advancement. Overall, a collegial and pleasant place to work.
Cons
The organization has undergone some growing pains, having developed rapidly in both size and effect. As is often the case in these situations, certain systems and processes have yet to fully catch up. But these have been steadily improving, with new strategies in place and a positive outlook for the future.
