      Pros

      * Decent health insurance * Lax expectations * Little-no Weekends/Nights

      Cons

      * Management absolutely sucks. Totally inbred, no fresh faces, no external technical or management experience. * Corruption and fraud in usage of gov't funds. Shoveling money into a few people's pockets while claiming high expenses and public benefit. * Terrible pay for lack of purpose - will find greater purpose and pay working for defense contractor. Don't let the non-profit status fool you.

      Pros

      Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

      Cons

      A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
