Pros

The mission is worthy and it feels good to believe you are helping people. The pay is very decent depending on your position.

Cons

There are some issues with the upper level management that trickle down to permeate every aspect of this company. Employees are not as engaged in the mission as they should be. They are always implementing new changes, often very rashly, and the outcomes are disappointing. It seems like a big waste of time and energy. Just general day to day is very tough. I have never cried so much in my life as I did working for ARC.
