      Great mission, questionable execution

      Pros

      The organization has a fantastic mission, and most employees are dedicated to it. There's a great sense of teamwork on the local level. It's nice to work for a brand that's so well-respected and well-known. Somewhat flexible in work/life balance when there's no disaster.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible unless you work in fundraising. They're currently going through a restructuring--second one in two years--that has resulted in massive staff cuts. It's justified by relying on volunteers, but I think the cuts have been too deep and too much is being put on the volunteers.

      Great Mission on the outside-Turmoil on the inside

      Pros

      Great mission. You know the work you do helps people in need.

      Cons

      Lots of change. Change that makes work life balance nearly impossible. People at National Headquarters could care less about their employees. Management is not good from top to bottom. With all the change in the last year you find every manager and department watching out for themselves. There is not sense of team. Lots of finger pointing. Nobody appreciates the hard work but be sure they will let you know if you make a mistake.
