Pros

It used to be location but can't say that that applies any longer.

Cons

I was not challenged or encouraged to grow professionally during my time nor was I ever once asked about improvements to the organization. Relationships with other employees were very much discouraged and frowned upon. I once got a cake for a departing employee and I was reprimanded that said employee did not "meet the criteria" to receive a cake, even though I had personally paid for the cake out of my pocket. My performance review was presented to me by being left on my chair and there was never a conversation with my supervisor about its contents which is sort of antithetical to its purpose. During my stay I think that it would be fair to say that fear was used as a primary motivator. Thick skin is definitely a requirement to work here. Def

Pros

The building is nice and it is located in a great place. That's all I got.

Cons

The organization still doesn't get it. A satisfied employee is a productive employee. Management from the top down needs an overhaul and some of the people who are promoted are not qualified to do their jobs.

Pros

Location, salary has improved in the last few years

Cons

Majority of funding comes from corporations, foundations whose missions/work practices are in direct conflict with the rights/needs of who the sector is trying to serve. Lack of diversity in senior leadership. Staff gave recommendations on how equity within the org could be improved and recommendations were never implemented.
