Pros

Great benefits and competitive salaries for a non-profit. Some of the lower-level staff are hardworking and dedicated individuals who try their best to navigate a difficult environment.

Cons

The current leadership has been detrimental to both the fiscal health and the moral compass of the organization. Under the new CEO, the company has consistently operated at a deficit for multiple years, yet there is a glaring lack of financial accountability at the top. It is disheartening to see the organization "in the red" while leadership prioritizes cosmetic office renovations and luxury travel over the well-being and retention of its staff. The environment has become increasingly toxic, resulting in a constant revolving door of talent. Many employees are choosing to resign without a secondary plan just to escape the atmosphere of being undervalued and mistreated. If you are looking for an organization that utilizes your skills and respects your professional contributions, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere until there is a significant change in executive management.
