Mission driven people. Terrible management

Operations coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Individuals at this organization are all incredibly dedicated to their mission.

Cons

Salaries are LOW. It is next to impossible to get any time of raise or promotion- the smallest raise can take years. Not a place to build your career long term. Great mission, but good intentions do not pay the bills. Management is largely out of touch with what the organization actually does. Staff have been stuck in crisis management mode for a year, which is taking a toll on its staff.
