Pros

The staff is wonderful, very dedicated, very hardworking. The organization is very effective in their mission.

Cons

The CEO has filled the organization's executive and senior level positions with his buddies; the majority grossly unqualified. It is nearly impossible to move up in the organization. I have watched extremely dedicated and talented staff passed over for promotions time and time again. The organization has very high turn-over - I believe close to 30%. Also very low pay (except for the very well paid executives) and below average benefits for a large DC based non-profit. Could be a great place to work, just needs qualified leadership.

Pros

The mission - of course. Remote work Benefits are decent

Cons

Favoritism - people get promoted because they are friends with someone or because they are appropriately performative. Inept leadership - Very few of the people managers know how to manage people and/or business process. No strategic leadership - we have a mission, but the strategy doesn't trickle down to those doing the work. Siloed - Departments don't work together. It is common for other departments or even individuals in your own department to sabotage or undermine your work. Zero transparency - The Board is a mysterious entity that no one understands. C Suite doesn't communicate down. The C suite itself doesn't work with its members. Everyone is doing their own thing. C suite is disconnected from the real work. The C-suite micromanages and discounts the expertise of its team. Operationally deficient - very few business processes, no clear roles and responsibilities, top heavy, slow to no decision-making. My concerned with performative measures and optics.
