Pros

Absolutely wonderful, kind, intelligent, and compassionate co-workers. Flexible hours on rare occasion. During a few weeks in the summer everyone is just 'on-call' for the second half of the day on Fridays.

Cons

Poor communication between leadership and the people on the ground doing the work. Leadership is sometimes very out of touch with the community it seeks to serve.

Pros

Passionate and dedicated staff.

Cons

If you ask questions about goals and vision for the organization you will never get a clear answer or any clarity but will be told time and time again that your only job is to fight for "100% LGBTQ acceptance" or to "change the narrative" or something else super super vague and empty. This leads to things being put off or not prioritized until the last minute, making an unnecessary fanatic and stressful work environment. Decisions are made top-down with no room for feedback, even when it directly impacts or pertains communities not represented by leadership.

Cons

Dysfunctional operations department: departments are understaffed and overworked, no clear process for promotions and salary increases, HR barely exists, no real onboarding/orientation for new employees, poor pay even by non-profit standards Workplace culture: make-work culture, people who voice concerns and opinions viewed as complainers, "be seen but not heard" attitude towards younger/junior staff, internal politics between programs side and development side can be difficult to navigate Staffing issues: lack of diversity among staff, high staff turnover
