Pros

The coworkers and a couple of managers were the only things getting me out of bed and into that place. I had grown to really like them and didn't want to let them down.

Cons

I had the enjoyment of working there for 4 years. Unfortunately, I only received a dollar in total raises, and that is after they raised they minimum pay; which they bumped many of us to, forgoing previous raises and told us tough luck. Management can't agree nor communicate about any issues, let alone keep a grip on themselves unless they're all hanging out in the office gossiping for hours on end. On top of that, good luck getting your work done. You might reach your goals or finish your projects, but they will come around and ask you to either undo all of the work you just did or have you make up for someone else, who they won't ever approach about their lack of effort. Nope, you did a good job? Here, make up for everyone else.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
