Collaborative and Thriving Team

Pros

A collaborative, inviting, friendly, passionate team of employees that are willing to help. I loved being an intern because they give you the opportunity to take on as much as you want and get involved wholeheartedly. Their transition to a bigger office made it more accommodating for interns as well. Proud to have been a part of the family!

Cons

Your experience truly depends on your supervisor. Some are organized and clearly tell you what they expect from you, while others are a bit too busy to manage your presence and willingness to help. Staff is overwhelmed with work and pressured to take on more, it's the nature of most non-profits, but I just felt bad!

Pros

Wonderful people who are so passionate and knowledgeable about what they do, including many in leadership positions. It's a mission-driven organization.

Cons

Workplace culture is not as communicative and forward-thinking as it could be, often means working long hours in artificially lit cubicles. Management is working on better ways to harness the people power and technology available, but in the short-term that leads to extra workload and transition-related stresses.
