Diversity and experience like no other. Great purpose and mission, you do feel you are making a difference in the lives of others. Personal growth and compensation is the best I've experienced.

Reorganization is creating uncertainty of personal growth and career advancement. The mission is great and staff are onboard with it however there is a lot of change to contend with all at once.
