Pros

Some of your co-workers are nice.

Cons

Working at GLAAD is in a lot of ways the worst of both worlds: you've got the lousy salary of a non-profit job, combined with the expectations, dumb office politics, and corporate soullessness of a white collar job. As has been said by other reviews, there is essentially zero long-term planning or vision here. The CEO and c-suite are more concerned with PR-friendly "wins" than they are with sustainable programming. Management is constantly just chasing whatever the latest trend is, with no ideas beyond making numbers for the current quarter. Insane levels of staff turnover, especially for an organization this small. You are never shocked when you get the "Jane Doe will be leaving the organization" email, or when someone tells you that this is their last week. Middle management is a revolving door. Lean, nonsensical budgets. Departments get told to do more with less, while money gets dumped into consultants and cosmetic office renovations.
