Pros

Lots of great events. Lots of great apples as well; despite the cons, there are people here who actually care about the people they serve. And are actually kind, moral individuals in real life

Cons

You think working in this industry is about altruism and helping people... I quickly learned how detached work culture can get from the core values of the industry. It's really sad how normalized gossiping behind co-workers' backs has become. Witnessing/knowing it was happening--about me even--broke my heart.

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.
