Pros

Great work/life balance and you can feel proud about the quality content the org produces

Cons

Many things others have said are true - low pay, difficult to advance, lack of innovation, passive aggressive employees, etc. But even worse than that, the culture is extremely toxic. Many managers are rude and disrespectful to staff, yet are still supported and even promoted by management. For people of color, the situation is particularly bad. I repeatedly heard other employees making racist and insensitive comments without any concern about professionalism or what is appropriate in the workplace. This may have been specific to the digital/marketing department, but the fact that this behavior was allowed to persist for so long speaks to the values of the larger organization.

Steady, predictable workload. You can tell you're making a difference in the world and helping people across the state.

Lots of bureaucracy due to being a non-profit, state agency in the university system with federal oversight.
