Pros

You’re working to create change

Cons

The job posting was much different than the actual job—so much so that I felt lied to. I would HIGHLY caution anyone with a disability to work here—I had a disability and was asked to resign because they were unwilling to accommodate. (Not unable, unwilling). I would’ve looked into my legal rights if I could but my disability made it incredibly difficult to pursue any legal action and they knew that. I felt totally taken advantage of. They claim to be a great work environment but that’s only for their able-bodied employees. If you’re disabled they’ll leave you in the dust. This is a clear, systemic problem in the organization.

Pros

Great organization, filled with smart and passionate people.

Cons

Pay is extremely low, everyone working here is well below poverty line and tends to burn out fast. The best people never stay.
