Pros

no joke, this is the job I would have created for myself if I could have. For many years I said, I wish I worked for an organization that made a real difference, that allowed remote work, and allowed me to work with people who I genuinely enjoy. KAB is all of those things and more. Everyone works hard on multiple levels to make the organization better. When I started, yes there was some chaos but that came from a wish to do more than perhaps we could at the time. Since then the organization has made incredible leaps improving it's effectiveness, processes, internal communications, etc. Much of that is thanks to our new CEO. THis is not lip-service or brown-nosing, she has really made a difference in the character and focus of KAB. I foresee the improvement trend continuing.

Cons

Just the usual stuff, wish we could afford tuition reimbursement but it's worth the sacrifice because I love the people. We need to work more on employing the processes we have established through regular practice. This too has improved though.

Pros

-Positive, interesting mission -Small team of passionate people -Summer Fridays and flexible hours -Opportunity to travel nationwide throughout the KAB affiliate network -Volunteer opportunities -Decent benefits package (healthcare, FSA, 403b match, PTO) -Office location

Cons

-Recent restructure has resulted in confusion of roles, loss of key staff with institutional and subject matter knowledge and low employee morale. -Lack of focus/direction from the organization's leadership; the organization tends to chase sponsor dollars without fully thinking through whether or not the funded work is going to advance the mission, or can be carried out by the staff on hand. -Programs need to be updated to remain marketable. -Ever-changing brand strategy, verbiage, marketing materials and focus is confusing to staff, affiliates and the outside world. -Heavy workload, at times unmanageable or requiring staff to work on projects outside of their job descriptions. More people managing programs (or fewer programs in general) would be helpful. -Limited opportunity for career advancement or professional development. -Limited fundraising strategy; reliance on what the organization did in past years to meet revenue goals vs. staying apprised of new trends in philanthropy and evolving to stay relevant. -There is a recent focus on international growth which is concerning, considering the organization's limited bandwidth and lack of presence in major U.S. markets.
