Pros

Due to the decentralized nature of the organization, some roles have great flexibility relative to work hours and locations. Some positions also require travel to generally very nice hotels in desirable locations.

Cons

IT systems and staff are not adequate to support the organization. Lots of organizational chaos in that the same responsibility may be assigned to different people in different departments, who may not even be aware of the existence of people doing the same work. Organization is led by members, so it is highly political. Many times, if a member turns on an employee, the employee will be fired or demoted without a chance to defend themselves. Currently, both the CEO and COO are members, which is like the fox guarding the hen house. HR is a mess too. Interview process is very long and HR is not credited with dealing fairly and honestly with employees. Lots of games.

Pros

Learning environment, opportunity to work on projects/work to build your skillset, part of CEO's learning journey.

Cons

Lots of backstabbing and egos amongst CEOs. ELT members in relationships with members and have the ability to manipulate outcomes that favor their preference.
