Pros
They work on important issues. The place is staffed with high caliber people. The work can be very rewarding. I made a lot of good friends there and was proud of my work. Generous vacation time. Good health benefits.
Cons
It operates on a star system and rewards self promoters. There are a lot of big egos. Those who do good work quietly tend to be overshadowed by strivers. This created tension and frustration. Also, civil rights advocates don't always make for attentive and careful managers. Most had never received any management training and it often showed. They ask a lot of the staff and seem to believe that the privilege of working on civil rights/liberties issues compensated for low pay and long hours.
