      I worked at Ecological Society of America full-time

      Pros

      Hands off approach to work.

      Cons

      Where to start. Senior staff gossip about their staff openly and loudly, for their interns and other staff members. Humiliation and bullying is rampant. Unprofessional, stay away.

      Advice to Management

      Retire your older staff who worked in an era where intimation and harmful gossip were allowed in the work place.

      -Salary/compensation is a little lacking, but the upward momentum will hopefully change that for future employees

      I have been working at Ecological Society of America full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Flexible and laid back working environment. Nice people. 403(b) is good (10%). Annual leaves starting at 2 weeks to 3 weeks after 5th year. Can carry forward 240 hrs of annual leave.

      Cons

      Salary can be low. Only 2 layers of positions: entry staffs or directors. Directors never quit and there is no opportunity for advancement.

      Advice to Management

      Create some mid level position to retain some good staff.
