Pros

Some of the people are actually mission-driven. You get to brag that you work for a highly regarded organization. You get to work like 3 jobs in one lol.

Cons

Ridiculous expectations of long hours, workload and timelines. Terrible pay while execs get bonuses in the midst of budget cuts and huge layoffs of older staff members.

Management and strategic plan constantly changing

Pros

Great insurance, flexible schedule, good office culture and a good amount of time off, a very worthwhile cause. Some one else said it best. This is an awesome company to volunteer for....not so great to work for.

Cons

Structure changing constantly, you never know from month to month who will get laid off or which positions will be eliminated due to structure changes. The plan is never transparent and middle employees are always left out of the loop. The strategic plan tends to change almost over night. It is impossible to plan for the future when the business that you work for is unable to plan for the future.
