Pros
So many pros to list, where to begin? If you are near retirement, lazy, or unethical, this is the job for you. It's better to be fired than to quit, the severance package for your promise not to say bad things is a sweet deal. Take a three month vacation + one week every year of service before your next position. If you have zero experience leading people, or you love micromanaging everyone including the MicroMachine guy, you can be a Director of Directing Directedness, and we'll send you to out-of-state training for it. If you are a vendor and have something to sell to the National FFA, that's nothing a lunch next door at Ted's Montana Grill can't solve. Make sure you pick up the tab. The company can only afford your over-priced product with a fifty-year service contract. Lunch would be too demanding. The main parking lot is pretty sparse most Fridays and during the months of November and December. Take the morning off, eat lunch, and take the afternoon off. Clearly, no one will notice. If you do make director by your incompetence or dumb luck, you can get that budget saved bonus out of the budget you control without any oversight. Take your husband or wife out to several nice dinners with that money. Triple points if you take them to Ted's. Your pension money is completely safe. Don't worry folks, it'll be distributed in seven years when the company recovers the 40% shortfall due to mismanagement in the last decade. If you witness the company making serious errors, financially or otherwise, you won't have to fill out the annual senior management review until the following year. Maybe never. Accountability, what's that archaic thing? If you need the day to go by quickly, hop into the plentiful number of meetings available. If you babysat for a member of senior management, we have a job for you because you have clearly have the necessary "organizational skills." If you, as a Director of Diversity for example, are guilty of sexual harassment, you'll be canned. Do not fear: the organization won't tell anyone about it. You're golden if you want to re-enter the education sector with a clean slate. Wear blue and gold every day your first week, people will smile and think you're a rock star already. You just might be the next middle manager of a program that serves only twenty people at a cost of fifty thousand dollars a year.
Cons
This place is just that awesome there's only one con to list. You will be embarrassed to put this job on your resume after you leave. However, you'll be forced to put it because other companies will actually believe this is a not-for-profit organization and "you must have performed miracles there without all the money and resources" of a for-profit company.

Pros
Great group of people to work with. Some of the sponsors are great and easy to work with. The member base, for the most part as well as the national convention are very impressive. The new CEO is trying to turn the finances around.
Cons
Incompetent management at every level, inconsistent treatment of employees, core values not observed or respected by management, work life balance not respected. The culture is such that there is a divide and complete lack of effective communication between upper levels and lower levels. There is a lot of ego and sensitivity at the top do going against the grain or speaking out only results in retaliation. Very little appreciation for or loyalty to employees. The HR department is comprised of bullies, you'll need to double check your pay and benefits constantly as there is no competent benefits person and you CANNOT approach with confidence of non bias or impartial mediation if needed. A large portion of the work force was cut while two high decision makers there through the deficit causing period remain. The only consistency is that retaliation is eminent if you speak up or in defense of an opposing view from management. You'll be fed lie after lie and experience disappointment after disappointment.
