Pros

Company benefits and location. People genuinely like to help one another when asked to do so. Internal work order system is helpful to keep track of projects with web services, creative, and information services departments.

Cons

Unclear expectations and directives from leadership on standard operating procedures (SOP). No written documentation on how to fill out paper work properly which are never remedied until the 11th hour only to then be changed again. Constant feeling of untrustworthiness from leadership from inability to not empower workers to be accountable for work. Micromanagement and extremely high turnover rates. Pungent feeling of frustration in the environment attributing to an unhealthy work atmosphere. Dictatorial approach to the employer and employee relationship. Constant maintaining and protection of the status quo due to fear of fresh ideas.

Pros

EDI employs staff to work directly with medical/research non-profits, giving employees the incredible opportunity to help its clients realize their vision. Culture is very supportive - EDI supports professional development and membership in related organizations for its employees to help them continually grow and say on top of trends. They provide pathways for staff to be promoted and grow within the company. They offer a variety of opportunities from meetings logistics to committee management to meeting planning to medical writing and more. I've worked there for over 15 years and have had an incredible experience with the company as well as with the volunteers we serve.

Cons

No cons currently. Over the last 15+ years that I've been here, EDI has worked hard to support employees and respond to suggestions for improvement. For example, most positions are able to work remotely up to 3 days a week. EDI is also continuously updating technologies and systems to allow staff to efficiently do their work.
