Resources For Human Development – “If you're ambitious enough to visit this site, you probably don't want to work here.”

Pros

Laid back environment. Flex hours for many depending on your department. Vacation time cannot be beat. Management is relatively accessible. Not a bad place if you just want a "job" and not a career.

Cons

Compensation is below average, which is to be expected for non-profit. They talk about being a morally superior organization compared to other companies, but little is done to back that up. Management gives themselves astronomical raises in the midst of a financial crisis with no regard to the people supporting them. Expectations for employees are not clearly defined, which may be a product of no performance evaluations. Hiring managers are not trained in either interviewing or supervising; resulting in several incompetencies in these areas. There is no accountability for all of the failed hires that cost the company valuable $.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't try so hard to be different - it's fine to differ from corporate America in certain respects, but it would be a better place if certain pieces of their handbook were incorporated.
