Pros

Supporting some wonderful social entrepreneurs.

Cons

Poor on-boarding, sink or swim, insufficient unrestricted funding to manage an organization. Leadership meetings where everyone usually agrees with CEO regardless of whether or not his ideas are realistic and the best idea or not. Passive aggressive behavior. Top leadership either completely hands off or micromanaging staff- neither work. Never know who is going to be axed next. Budgets can be changed at any time regardless of who approved. No security.
