Pros

Help those in need through your efforts Work with a friendly and committed team Freedom to take a responsibility and "run" with it (little "micro-management") Good benefits (medical, dental, etc.) Generous vacation/holiday leave

Cons

Pay lower than "for-profit" Less resources than businesses (BUT, a plus of that is learning to do more with less)

Pros

They paid very well for a non-profit organization. The local United Way agency here supports more than 80 member agencies. That can give an individual experience working with a variety of organizations and really getting a good understanding of the non-profit landscape in Charlotte.

Cons

They were recently rocked by some scandal here in Charlotte. That led to reduced revenue and some layoffs. In general, the board is made up largely of corporate reps and the leadership in stable but not cutting edge or forward thinking.

The people, the culture and the work made it a good place to work. The atmosphere was collegial. Overall it was very enjoyable.

Cons

Limited resources on occasion. Overall very few cons. Overall a great working environment. Small organization so there are not many opportunities for openings.
