Pros

- Fully remote work environment - Opportunities to attend national and regional events - Strong, mission-driven organization

Cons

- Excessive virtual meetings that frequently run over time and often end without clear decisions or actionable next steps - Senior Leadership Team (SLT) members holding dual roles or overseeing departments outside their areas of expertise - Largely absent or ineffective IT and HR teams - Lack of updated training and onboarding resources for new hires - Frequent before/after-hours “urgent” communications from CEO, many of which could reasonably wait until regular business hours.
