Pros

Flexible schedule. Some teams are great to work with and are organized for strategic success. They organize monthly breakfast meetings to keep the staff informed.

Cons

Management needs to drink their own cool aid. They don't know a thing about managing projects. They don't know how to organize effectively. They over work the good employees and let others who are worthless hang around and do nothing. Why not replace them to create effective teams rather than resentment. They keep building more and more processes into their IT GROUP which add no value and then ask why is it taking so long. EPMO is established but you would not know it.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn about the non-profit world and project management as a discipline. Very dedicated staff.

Cons

Very hierarchical. Only executive management makes decisions. Middle management is held accountable for most projects, good and bad. No room for advancement and even limited lateral opportunities. Culture is stifling and confrontational.

Pros

The culture was great, it showed that the really valued their people. Little events organized by HR were fun and gave something to look forward to each week.

Cons

How engaging the work was, was pretty hit or miss. Leadership really needs to take direction on projects and make engaging work possible.
