Pros

Decent salary. Great Executive Director. Great head of Development. People are passionate about the work.

Cons

The culture needs help. There is a sense of negative misery at times among staff members under 35 years old. Some who have been on staff for more than 3 years are miserable and either too scared to find a new job or can't find one. New employees don't always feel welcome. Some feel hazed by older staff. Most of the executive assistants and coordinators are miserable and mean. The misery tends to be generational. Those under 35 are miserable. Those over 35 tend to be more professional and make the best of it and not complain so publicly. Minds are changed by upper management often so little gets done. People are always leaving and it's mostly the people of color who leave. Always drama in the media or with some of the other sectors outside the US. Career growth is stagnant.
