      Pros

      Great entry level position. I learned a lot of program and project management, conducting community needs assessments and evaluations, how to use SPSS software, and how to coordinate and liaise with stakeholders and partners. I also had an opportunity to present final reports and give presentations in front of the Board of Directors.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for growth and very low salary for entry and mid-level positions.

      Pros

      Great opportunity to acquire many skills- leadership, facilitation and relationship building

      Cons

      Working in a non-profit means low salary and high work expectations. Great experience and resume builder.

      Pros

      A small yet mighty team (27 employees) with a lot of talented people. Everyone who's here really wants to make a difference, each department pulling together. Our yearly campaign regularly raises more money for the community than the year before...over $26 million in 2014. Bigger cities are regularly put to shame by us and our community giving track record. During the Fall campaign season, everyone is called upon to do whatever is necessary -- which is right. We often have a little more flexibility in our schedules during other times of the year.

      Cons

      We regularly are seen and heard by the top folks in the best companies all over town -- as such, we sometimes behave as if we're a much bigger outfit (and more corporate) than we really are. Salaries are set and judged by our larger, corporate partners...yet we're regularly at the traditional "nonprofit" disadvantage. No one else does what we does, as well as we do it. And yet our salaries are a little low like all nonprofits.
