Pros

Great people, decent salaries, good PTO

Cons

Cut throat, constant changes by executive leadership that don't know the inner workings of the organization. Organization has been losing money for years, yet the executive management hasn't changed and keep making decisions that aren't helping the organization rebound

Pros

General Public is under the illusion that it is a respectful organization; makes you feel good that other's think you are working for a "good" organization. Only the employees know better.

Cons

Uniformed Leaders Staff are blamed-Not the Organizational Processes Lack/Outdated Resources Leaders who initially mismanaged ARC; Still in Place and still making bad decisions

Pros

A genuine feeling that you're helping people every day. Three weeks off in your first year of working.

Cons

Management is terrifyingly awful. We are constantly held under fear of losing our jobs. Very difficult to get a promotion. A good performance is rewarded with a pin and not much else, while one month of less-than-stellar performance is punishable by constant threat of unemployment. ARC seems to currently be going through massive down sizing.
