Pros

Great cause, many learning opportunities. With better and more stable leadership, it could be a really great place to work. Many good people work there. Inspirational case stories of people overcoming amazing odds.

Cons

Too many meetings, too much politics, constantly shifting priorities. People's experience do not necessarily support the positions they are in. There is not a great deal of trust in the culture because of the way people are treated both openly and behind closed doors. Lots of turf guarding and high turn-over.

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.
