Work-life balance difficult

Pros

Personal growth and professional development opportunities are many (at least in HQ), mostly everyone is a delight to work with, wonderful inspiring people who are truly motivated by clients and love what they do.

Cons

There is a lot of talk that compensation is low, it's difficult to move up, and work-life balance is hard to strike. Also that it can be too "top-down" from HQ to the field staff.

Pros

I often helped with big meaningful projects that really made me feel like I was making an impact.

Cons

You deal with some really tough situations, and it's a non-profit, so not the best pay. This is definitely a job you do because you love it.
