It WAS a good place to work.

Pros

Good benefits. Interesting work. Good location.

Cons

There is a great sense of fear and instability there. The culture has changed so much over the years. Many managers use fear to motivate employees. There is not much room for growth at the headquarters location. It is definitely an old boys club.

Exec compensation is insane

Pros

Benefits are solid. PTO, retirement, health coverage are actually great

Cons

Compensation is heavily skewed to execs vs the staff supporting the company. It’s a non-profit, but the CEO is making over 600k, the COO making over 400k and when staff ask for professional growth opportunities, promotions, or resources to meet the demands being asked…it’s a mess of “we don’t have the financials to support that”, but there is finances to pay heavy executive salaries- even for the DC area- those are unheard of in the non-profit world.

Pros

Corp HQ bethesda location is scenic. The deli staff is always friendly and the food is fresh and hot in the buffet area.

Cons

Nepotism and favoritism are rampant throughout. The turnover is crazy on an annual basis. Literally half my department left in one year. Demands on employees are beyond unreasonable. Work from home is frowned upon and most in management hire their ex coworkers and friends to fill roles. Antiquated view that employees are expendable and expected to be on site at all times.
