Pros

Benefits, Work-Life Flexibility, Good place to start a career.

Cons

Promotions are not merit based, but rather based on how well one can suck up to their manager. There is a lack of recognition of talented individuals. Too easy to become comfortable and trapped in a rut. Since this is a non-profit, the pay is poor.

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.
