Pros
passionate, competent staff at the midlevel of the organization
Cons
This organization's financial struggles are easy to see on paper. What's harder to see is how dismissive leadership has become of their staff. While it's expected that some staff will leave for greener pastures, so many people that are leaving aren't leaving because of those financial issues but because leadership continues to gaslight staff, refusing to address issues around equity, resources, and transparency. A work experience that formerly centered around meaningful work, strong staff bonds, unique experiences, and opportunities to learn has been reduced to fighting for resources, leadership infighting, and and a general disinterest in staff as a whole. The org is bleeding staff - leaving those that remain under the guidance of newly hired, expensive, new to the organization leaders that have little knowledge of basic operations.
