Pros

Making a difference living united to help the 55+ market find employment. We have 75 on my project's payroll and six others have found permanent jobs with benefits! Also, this job has enhanced my administrative skills including advanced excel and QuickBooks.

Cons

The pay rate is so low, especially for my skill level and MBA in Accounting. I am paid through a federal government grant and the position is limited to four years, and I cannot have wages from another job at the same time.

Pros

The mission is meaningful and the work itself can be deeply rewarding. Colleagues are talented, dedicated, and genuinely care about the community they serve. For the right person, that camaraderie carries a lot of weight.

Cons

Over the past two years, this organization has undergone significant and painful change. A revolving door of senior leadership, including the abrupt loss of key executives, created instability that trickled down to every level of staff. Layoffs followed, and then a steady stream of voluntary departures that leadership appeared either unable or unwilling to address meaningfully. Under new leadership, nearly every quality-of-life benefit that made nonprofit-level salaries feel worth it has been reduced or eliminated: fewer sick days, increased healthcare costs, loss of Summer Fridays, loss of Thanksgiving week, and a shift to more required in-office days. The cumulative effect is an organization that asks a great deal of its staff, in salary sacrifice and mission commitment, while systematically withdrawing what made that trade-off feel fair.
