Pros

Some friendly people in a few departments. A few catered meals/receptions each year are a nice touch.

Cons

Far too many tasks listed in the job description to be able to complete everything required and was told repeatedly they would not hire any help, yet everything should be accomplished, anyway, which led to NO work/life balance, many overtime hours with no overtime pay. Higher ups do not listen to reason and were uncaring. No communication between departments. It's very difficult to get anything accomplished when you need information from another department. VP's seem to compete with one another and have trust issues with each other, which may be why departments do not work well together. Snobbery is a definite culture problem there and is referred to as "silos".

Pros

Work life balance is valued by both the community, but also the workers from this organization. Heading into my field I did not know if it was going to include this, or other values, but I have been proven wrong and that is a good thing.

Cons

Deadlines arise randomly, although consistent may not be able to conclude in a timely manner.
