Pros

Great way to network with other nonprofits and some volunteer opportunities.

Cons

Organization in desperate need of experienced, forward-thinking leadership. Little communication between CEO and staff, and between staff themselves. Campaign/fundraising always trumps community outreach efforts. Staff are micromanaged and not empowered to do their jobs. High stress, low pay. Overall toxic work environment made worse by no opportunities for advancement, no professional development, extremely limited resources and inefficient work space and technology.

Pros

4 weeks of vacation plus holidays, good insurance, decent pension program, Knowing you're making a difference.

Cons

So. Much. Micro-management. Even as a vice president, you will make no decision that isn't second guessed by the CEO. HR is overly complicated and hiring practices are so rule-bound that quick hires are almost impossible. The people that are hired are all excellent and really good at their jobs but each decision they make is second guessed away until everyone has a sense of learned helplessness- nothing can be done quickly because it has to be run past the CEO before it can be implemented.
