Pros

1. Well compensated plus a pension vesting after 5 years 2. Some brilliant people including the current CEO 3. State offices do great work for Seniors 4. Huge reserves-- in the Billions. So financially stable. 5. A very worthy Foundation that does great work.

Cons

1. Current CEO while brilliant is not happy with dissenting opinions on anything and she may agree on something and then a week later say she never did and how dare you! 2. Too many lifers who don't really care to try new things. 3. Many there find it impossible to ever start new initiatives and to keep them going. 4. Employees can accuse others of mis behavior and their names are never revealed which leads to a lot of crazy accusations that are tough on the rank and file. 5. Getting promoted is often at the whim of the CEO.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
