Pros

Rewarding social mission work to help all individuals 50 - plus. Very diverse working business units that come together on certain issues as a matrix team. Work itself is rewarding given the right personal fit based on an individuals interest area.

Cons

Constant reorganization and leadership changes at all levels. In many cases, new leaders are not the best fit, but know how to play office politics with the senior leaders. Last year we went through a voluntary separation offer, so even more changes. Movement for employees below director level is very difficult and ability is not a major factor for advancement. Little or no movement or chance to grow.

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.
