Pros

This company has a great mission with average pay and benefits. Direct mid-level managers and teams are supportive. The culture has a family-feel with many tenured employees.

Cons

The professional positions lack opportunity to move up in this company. There is a focus on money and profits, and less focus on people and mission. There seems to be an underlying culture of loyalty over integrity in the senior management. Most upper management has been there for years and will likely stay in their positions until they retire.

Pros

It's a job..... You can pay some bills. You can have self esteem in yourself for trying to make a living.

Cons

The fake non profit should just make an announcement and say, "We've decided to head in a new direction. That direction, is For Profit". If that happened, this review wouldn't be necessary. VP and Director positions sit at cozy 6 figure salaries. Some directors even make $250,000 annually, not including their bonuses as well. Don't believe me? Then YouTube "Dateline's" special on Goodwill. The org pays the handicap employees below minimum wage, ranging grotesquely from 0.22 cents an hour and up. Imagine your blind daughter or son being timed to complete a task, then being told because they're not fast enough, subliminally that their not good enough, and their pay is going to be cut. Their motto is "transforming lives through the power of work". Despicable. They should all be ashamed of themselves. It's the silent owners who actually are in command. They look from their ivory white towers down below, they disregard their peons, then they laugh at their grand scale of deception and greed. Bottom-line, this org only cares about money. Absolutely Zero care for you, unless, your high enough in the game. If your coming here for a mission, I hate to tell you, its nothing more then a corporate, greedy, backstabbing, CYA, underpaying, deceptive, miserable job within most departments. I'm not disgruntled, I'm just telling it like it is.
