Pros

Very interesting and thrilling mission. Some very promising committed stances. Many dedicated, passionate and inspiring people.

Cons

Inappropriate expectations from the direction. Employees spending a lot energy fighting back or protecting themselves from a pushy, aggressive and disrespectful management while trying to do properly their job. A huge gap between the values the organization pretend to promote and the actual management practices of the direction. A lack of checks and balances, and basic safeguards to avoid management abuses, as well as to guarantee the transparency needed to administrate properly the organization. An important turn-over rate. A lot of frustrations for employees forced to quit, and for those staying. Low salaries.

Pros

Leaders foster a culture where employees truly feel valued. Staff is directly involved in decisions. Option to work from home. Unique perspectives, experiences and contributions are encouraged and celebrated.

Cons

Working for a nonprofit is rewarding, but sometimes grants don't get approved and a project may have to be put on pause.

Pros

I worked with EFBA for 8 years. It started humbly as a parents' association and it is now a large French Language teaching institution known internationally and publishing learning material over the internet. Even though growth doesn't happen without rough patches and tumbles, EFBA never ceased to be a working place where being a human being with a heart anchored in the left side of your chest is never forgotten. It was very fulfilling to work with EFBA team for eight years. I will not be willing to work for anyone else, except for myself, after these years.

Cons

Ideal for the great Bay Area urban centers. But difficult for families in rural or remote areas to have access to EFBA teaching centers.
