All the chaos, disorganization, and frustrations of grass-roots style, non-profit.

Communications program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's so special how close the staff is, that people will spend years dealing with the cons, which are pretty obstructive and constant, because the closeness and support is so strong. Great people, some great mid-level bosses, positive and supportive co-workers. Tight family of people I will never forget. reliable work, great health insurance, pension

Cons

Ineffective and manipulative executive leadership that leads to disorganization, distrust among hire-ups and some staff, with holding of information, sometimes crucial information, due to fear of job security, etc. Also, working closely with actors can be extremely trying. Also can be rewarding but less often.

Pros

-My department is small, I feel like I'm on a team and not just one of countless underlings. My relationship with my superiors has been great. -The benefits package and work-life balance at SAG-AFTRA is exceptional. People use their vacation and personal days, the healthcare is top notch including dental and vision, they have a pension plan (rare for companies to offer pension instead of just 401k these days).

Cons

-It's a nonprofit job at a union, so the pay itself is lower than what you might find at a comparable company or firm elsewhere. -Traffic getting to their building can be terrible during rush hour depending on where you live in LA.
