Pros

WestEd offers great benefits to employees. The pay was great!

Cons

The work-life balance is not conducive to a healthy lifestyle. During busy seasons, one may work an entire week of 12+ hour days. This is in addition to traveling to lead professional development sessions. One may present a full 8 hours and then return to a hotel room to work through the night on a client deliverable. When this occurs occasionally, one can manage. However, once it becomes a regular occurrence, it is not sustainable.
