Business outlook
Pros
You work with passionate and smart people. Most people are very friendly and willing to talk to junior staff.
Cons
While the org has a good mission, junior staff are underpaid and overworked. EMILY's List insists that cycle hires are necessary and industry standard, but then turn around and fill those same positions a few months later. This left cycle staff feeling overlooked and unemployed in the middle of a pandemic. The org recently unionized which should be a help for future cycles of junior staff and interns. Interns are given just a stipend and not paid DC minimum wage which among other things will hopefully change soon.
