Pros

Collaborative, team-oriented environment working with amazing people from all over the world. Very rewarding, fulfilling work. Challenging, dynamic, different things to do every day, lots of moving parts and opportunities to be creative and try new things. Try to focus on best practices. Good benefits including paid parental leave, retirement, health, dental, etc plus personal days and floating holidays.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunities to advance. The pay is a little low. Stress can be high and sometimes it can be hard to find interpreters and communicate effectively. A lot of bureaucracy working with HQ- takes a lot of time to vet grants and other proposals. IT is offsite, which can be challenging sometimes. Lots of paperwork, casefiles and databases.

Summer Camp for AmeriCorps

Pros

Industry name recognition. Chance to work with inspiring clients.

Cons

Certain departments are run like an unsupervised Summer Camp for AmeriCorps volunteers, many of whom lack professionalism and respect for clients. They are not alone. Many staff are more interested in doing as little as possible and complaining about their workload than getting anything done, inspiring low morale among the rest who give a damn. This is in multiple departments.
