Pros

Blackbaud is a well-established software community that exclusively works with the non-profit world. There are a lot of ways that the company helps you to literally help others who are trying to make a difference in the world. They also give you back vacation time for time that you spend volunteering in the community. I could go on and on about the pros. A lot of the employees are creative and smart, and it's rewarding to get to work alongside them.

Cons

Because of the fact that Charleston is such a small tight-knit community, there is definitely a little/a lot of nepotism and The Good Ol' Boy system. You have to be careful not to ruffle the wrong feathers. The only other major con is that the pay is way below national averages for nearly all positions. Charleston is growing and it's very expensive to live here. The Compensation Analysts admit to the fact that there is a gap between what they pay for cost of labor vs the cost of living in this area.

Pros

Fellow employees are generally very friendly and easy to work with.

Cons

There are no documented business processes so it is hard to get a grasp of how projects should be run and therefore each project is run entirely differently. You also have to go through multiple people in many business units to get an answer to a seemingly simple question.
