Pros

Its mission is key! It is the only place of its kind. It's sorely needed in today's economy.

Cons

Lost sight of its mission. Got greedy! Money became it's #1 priority vs the people it was supposed to serve.

Pros

Excelsior has a lofty mission and many loyal employees in the front lines.

Cons

Jim Baldwin is a horrible leader, allowing pettiness/infighting and nepotism to rule decision-making. The board is completely asleep and not paying any attention to what is happening. They are letting go of good people, through forced retirement and layoff after layoff.
