Pros

The best thing about working there was the majority of co-workers. They were the only reason why I wanted to continue working there. I could always count on them to be supportive and helpful.

Cons

Don’t let the humanitarian language or non-profit label fool you. This is a company. It is run like a company. You are replaceable. The quality and merit of your work isn’t rewarded. People are given opportunities based on favoritism and convenience to upper management. They gave a management position to someone who publicly and unprofessionally harassed other workers on numerous occasions. That should give you an idea of the type of people they're willing to promote. There is prominent toxic favoritism. There are individuals that receive a troublesome amount of second-chances compared to others. There are those that are allowed to get away with certain things compared to others. People are targeted or harassed more than others seemingly on a whim. The company will then tell you to forgive and forget, or to move on. Even if you objectively have no justifiable reason to do so. New ideas in optimizing and innovating workflow or general work standards are mostly ignored. Every location needs to be set up the same way. If an issue arises at a location that does something different. It will be blamed as the reason for the issue, even if it had nothing to do with it. If you are an individual that is consistent at the high quality of their work, you will be taken for granted. They'll convince you that you are important and needed so they can get more work out of you. Your time is better spent somewhere better.
