Pros
Great mission that most staff are highly committed too. Good benefits, great commute incentives. Tuition reimbursement can help career growth. Growing company creates opportunity for advancement or to move around. Well known organization, great reputation to work for.
Cons
Growth also means It’s not what it used to be, in some ways for the worse. Company is growing faster than front line staff can absorb the work. High level of burnout among many staff as a result. Difficult to get senior leadership suppor to add front line help, expected to absorb all growth through improvement systems only. Meanwhile, chief officers and senior directors seem to be added more frequently. Company in many ways takes advantage of staff commitment to mission. Because people want to be there, they get paid “market rate” while expected to have double the productivity. It’s unrealistic to expect to keep only the best without rewarding them for it.
