Pros

Incredibly intelligent and talented co-workers, excellent benefits (1.6 days of vacation per paycheck starting off, 403b full match up to 3%, partial up to 6% +medical, dental, vision), accesible and knowledgable HQ support team and technical advisors, clear organizational principles and strategy. Very strict about working 8:30-5pm and kick you out of the office (however still expect you to meet all job responsibilities and outcomes).

Cons

Being an organization that works primarily with immigrants and diverse populations, leadership locally and within U.S. is majority caucasian and non-immigrant, which influences organizational culture and approach to aid. Very high workload, low pay (nonprofit pay). Grants and outcomes at times unrealistic for providing quality service. Lack of cooperation/communication between departments.

All staff were incredibly nice, gained valuable experience, helped provided necessary services to refugees.

Cons

The office was fairly underfunded so there are not many perks as part of the workplace culture.
