Pros

Awesome benefits - health care, emergency child care options (off site), wellness activities are free (weight watchers, quit smoking, yoga, meditation, etc). This organization has a ton of money and you would do well here if you want stability, retirement, et cetera.

Cons

personally witnessed a number of non-qualified people get promoted or hired because of who they knew at the association, and there were great candidates that had been (and are probably STILL doing) the work that should have been promoted. There is a college Fraternity/sorority "cool kids" mentality in a lot of the departments. Teleworking is an option for SOME, depending on how much your boss likes you.
