Pros

Very little to list here. Used to be a great place with job security and longevity.

Cons

Collusion and rampant narcissism amongst HR team and C level executives. HR has zero loyalty to the employee and questionably will fire at will with little to no documentation. If you see an issue and report it to HR they will turn around and report who reported the complaint and what was said directly to the reporting manager. They will list and claim there is a no retaliation policy, however that's simply not true proven time and time again. CEO of this non-profit is conveniently always unavailable to see what a sham of executives he leads. They will claim in the job postings it's a "family environment" however the family is really their archaic leadership and bloated paychecks. No loyalty to the worker who puts in countless hours in overtime for their glory to the Board of Directors who have no authority over the general day-to-day poor decisions. CITO is a megalomaniac narcissist stuck on only blaming his team for all the failures in his decision making. In less than 1 year we have seen 7 employees quit, be fired or let go, because the CITO refuses to acknowledge his own failures. Today we watched 16 years of combined job and business specific knowledge be laid off between two employees. If you need an IT job, look elsewhere there are many better options available for that will pay you more and have a better leader who knows what they are doing. If you absolutely need a job then try to be anywhere but the IT department. The antiquated processes and systems being used are years behind the curve and you will be stifled for growth unless you become just a "yes" man or woman. Cross the CITO king and you might end up beheaded like most of the employees who have been removed for questionable reasoning

Pros

They always paid on time, and the benefits were adequate. If you get a good supervisor, it could be a nice place to work, but there is so much inconsistency across different departments.

Cons

When I first applied for the job, I saw how bad all of their reviews were. However, after meeting my team in the interview stage, I decided to ignore that. My team was good. Unfortunately, after conflicts with upper management, they all left, and that was when things got bad. I reported directly to someone high up in leadership. He had no idea what my job was and was not able to offer any guidance or training, despite my asking and being very honest with him that I did not have the experience of my former team members. I eventually left after he made it clear that dominating employees was more important to him than helping us do our work or providing good-quality services to our members. The lies and manipulation tactics used were as obvious as they were gross. HR is empathetic, but it was clear after many, many, many employees had given honest, detailed feedback about this leader specifically and in writing, that they will not do anything to intervene. If you decide to join the company, especially in the Marketing and Communications Division, everyone will tell you the exact same thing, just like they told me when I first started.
