Pros

Great mission, great kids, company credit card for work for professional employees

Cons

You will work really long hours, and sometimes go two full work weeks with no days off, which you will never be compensated for. Pay is not competitive, and you will not be paid for skill, education, or experience. Executive level management does not have the basic skill set necessary to do their jobs, and thus rely very heavily on staff to complete the most basic of tasks. With high employee turnover, this means that nobody remains to train new staff members, and staff in lateral positions are relied upon for training. Staff members often absorb work of parting employees without discussion or compensation. Excellent work performance and competence by staff members is not awarded, but punished. The better you are at your job, the more work you will absorb, and the less you will be paid. Executive management has little to no idea of what systems and processes are in place to make the organization run, and are not able to do tasks that each member of their departments are able to. Favoritism runs rampant, and you will not be awarded for skill, but for loyalty to executives. If you speak up, you will be reprimanded and silenced. Executive level management have their own interpretation of organizational rules and procedures, and use this to their advantage.
