Pros

If you are the type of person that likes to grow, be pushed to the next level, and learn, this is the place for you. The leadership team supports and embraces those who aren't just satisfied with the status quo but who stand up and work to make the organization better. Because it is a smaller organization, you will have the opportunity to learn a lot that is not only applicable to other non-profits but for-profits as well. It's run much like a business with a defined strategic plan and culture and the leadership team has the highest regard for doing things the right way and developing its people.

Cons

The organization is growing so fast sometimes it's hard to ensure that the quality of leadership and culture at the top is pushed effectively all the way through to the leadership on the ground. Great strides have been made though.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
