Pros

Opportunity to meet community leaders

Cons

CEO has conned the community and they follow like mice. CEOs salary keeps increasing while funds to help those in need decrease. CEO changes staff and projects constantly. Job security isn't even a value at a human service organization.

Pros

Access to many nonprofits, but relationship building is not valued.

Cons

Relationship building is not valued. No organizational vision. No focus on making a difference in the community. No value to outcomes. Organization only values revenue and PR. Not appreciative of hardworking, over qualified passionate staff. Management hinders passion and innovative staff when trying to meet the needs of the community. Senior management is not qualified. Organization and senior management does not value its partners, they simply use them and never intend to give back (one sided relationships). Salaries for lower level staff are disgraceful and Salaries for Senior staff are DISGUSTINGLY HIGH FOR A NONPROFIT (DONORS BEWARE). Executive/senior staff turnout lends for a very unstable and unfocused environment.
