      Pros

      Your able to work with different co-workers, donors, and volunteers daily as well as work in different cities.

      Cons

      Very Political. Treats employees like factory workers in a sweat shop literally and figuratively speaking. When I started worker there I felt great working for a "Non-profit organization", little did I know it was full of corruption, people embezzling for individual uses or inappropriate spending. Management is another ridiculous misleading, unreal group of people yet there's power trips from all upper management, human resources,

      Pros

      Ability to serve an important mission. Opportunities to interact with volunteers, whether at the ground level, or with community leaders.

      Cons

      Starvation of leadership. Too often those with experience working in non-profits, and those with experience within the organization are let go and replaced by individuals with no experience working in a complex non-profit environment. There is a sense that bringing in people with for-profit experience will solve the problem. Conversely, there is a culture of hiring "like" minded people in the area of disaster. If you worked in City or County disaster, then you must be a good fit in the ARC. This results in a lot of persons with on the ground experience, but little management, leadership or supervisory experience. Boards are uneducated in their roles and flounder in their attempts to understand what they should and should not focus on.

      Cons

      Wage gap that creates tension No compassion from Management Very unorganized Long hours Promoting people that should not be in supervisor positions Motto is one team one purpose but that is not the case Undercover boss should step in and get a feel for how this company really is.
