Pros

Helping non-profits is satisfying, teammates are great! Once you are there for a while, you get a lot of vacation. Good company for college hires looking for experience to get on resume.

Cons

Employee Engagement surveys are done every year, and while management likes to tout that they are reacting to the feedback gathered, they are not. They still make terrible decisions in a vacuum and continue to foster a culture of top-down messaging. Front line managers are told what to do and have no say about their own teams. This is a "Yes Man" company. If you want to be a manager that doesn't have to make any decisions, this is the place for you. Also, when your position is eliminated, the message from management is "It's business - nothing personal, let's still be friends." When you decide to leave the company because you are fearful of job security because a lot of your friends' positions are being "eliminated," management feels that you are disloyal and they take it very personally. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Compensation has steadily declined over the past 5 or 6 years due to the removal of "Long Term Incentive Plans," smaller annual increases, smaller promotion increases, and capping bonuses.
