Pros

It's great working one-on-one with clients and seeing them settle into new lives. Nice opportunities to change what you're doing from second-to-second.

Cons

Hours are often demanding if you are not paid by the hour. If you are in casework, hours generally shift a bit from day to day.

Pros

You really get to make a difference at this organization. There is a wealth of opportunity to be independent and take initiative.

Cons

Sometimes felt rather disorganized due to a few case workers. Some were extremely well organized and effective, others not so much, and there didn't seem to be an appropriate system to gauge this.

Pros

Work that is important, even if that's not felt on a daily basis. Wide exposure to how a large NGO functions. Well meaning and diligent colleagues. Increasingly high profile.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, and each level of leadership from unit level to department to overarching department associate directors/directors/vice presidents seem incapable of accepting responsibility for their part in creating a negative environment, and then actively taking the reigns to make big culture changes. Little room for professional development. The ideal employee is someone who cranks out work for their boss with little eye towards the future. People are only promoted or given opportunity once they threaten to leave or their dissatisfaction is obvious.
