Pros

The ability to grow and learn in several areas at one. It's not just sitting at a desk all day, it's also being a part of the community and networking which I enjoy.

Cons

Not enough vacation time and long days. Hours are 8-5 (which most jobs in this type of office setting is 8-4 or 9-5). I got one week of vacation when I started, but it won't be until the END of year 2 before I earn enough PTO to take barely one week off....and that's if I don't get sick or have to use a vacation day here and there. We get 3 sick days which 3 out of 365 is just not enough. It takes more than 3 days to recover just from a cold or flu!

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

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.
