Pros

Strong systems and procedures to support your work. Opportunities to grow within the organization. Field-based teams are very grounded in the realities of the work and the needs of communities served.

Cons

Work environment and culture does not support a healthy work life balance. Headquarters is very bloated and from a field-based perspective, it often feels as though the organization's priorities are not always positioned to best support the field work.

Pros

Very dedicated and passionate people. Incredible field staff.

Cons

Huge expectations of staff in relation to workload. Tend to miss external opportunities related to funding and other partnerships because of majority of time being spent on internal changes and operational priorities. These are needed but they have tended to absorb most of creative time over the last couple of years.
