Poor structure/do not value employees/supervisor's leaderships skills are horrible
Pros
Learned a lot, networked with a lot of people within and outside of the organization. Good medical benefits and 401k. Great Opportunities for growth
Cons
TURN OVER GALORE! There is def no work/ life balance. You are pretty much sucked in working all the time. Aside from the typical 8-12 hour days. You go home and all you think of is the billion things you need to keep working on, checking emails, getting and making calls after work hours.. working here becomes your life and it can destroy your personal life. There is a HUGE lack of structure. You are pushed to donate to the organization when salaries for the most part are very low especially for the long hours you are expected to work. There is no merit raise, you only receive a 2% cost of living annual raise and if you work as a teacher or demo school staff you get ZERO. You have to learn on the fly with little to no direction and when mistakes are made you get chewed out but when you do your job or you feel you excel you get ZERO recognition. There is a huge lack of leadership, direction and motivation from some of the VPs. I personally received very little direction, worked like crazy with no raise, and would be constantly put down in front of other coworkers by my supervisor. Yet, I lived and breathed to always do my best. I would get home after working 10-12 hours to continue checking on emails, working on whatever I needed to and always thinking on ways to improve the work I was doing... this represents ZERO work/life balance.
