Pros

Some staff can receive promotions. So many jobs available!

Cons

Turnover is huge. The CEO of our organization is aloof (not Jim Gibbons, our local organization). Pays more attention to the retail end of things unless it's time for the cameras to roll. He doesn't really pay attention to staff ideas, unless it's upper management. The benefits are poor. Several of the staff in social services are so worn out when they leave it's really sad. They pour their heart and soul into their work and they are not appreciated for the work they do.

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.
