Pros

Interesting travel opportunities. Some nice colleagues.

Cons

Disaster of leadership. Unethical research - I wish I could give more specifics but I think my review was removed before for giving details. Enumerators were paid extremely poorly and pressured to work excessively, which made me extremely uncomfortable. Emotionally unstable leaders who are volatile, childish, and make promises to clients they don’t keep and staff are forced to tidy up after them. Work life balance horrible. I’ve know of many disasters beyond this that I wish I could detail so people could see how bad it is, but I think, again, specifics got this removed before. I’m so disappointed it continues to operate with how much unethical and shameful behavior drives this org.
