Pros

Great mix of programs, including workforce training, k-12 education, community solar and arts events. The people that make this organization are great and make day to day interactions a pleasure.

Cons

Unclear mission statement and lack of growth make it hard for people to stay there for the long term. A lack of long term funding strategy has lead to a sink or swim mentality for program staff.

Pros

Majority of the employees are really excited to do their jobs. Everyone has a big heart and is always willing to go above and beyond. Regardless, the work/life balance is good, most folks "leave" the office at 5pm no matter what. The mission of the org is super inspiring.

Cons

They've been going through a lot of growing pains - three very high-level people who were there for a decade+ have left recently. New CEO doesn't seem to be very sure of himself. The main three programs kind of run on their own and he isn't very invested. Since the three main programs don't overlap, they haven't yet consolidated processes so if your role is outside of the three main programs, there aren't any guardrails for how to do almost anything within the org. The fiscal team is messy.
