Pros
Fedcap is growing its geographic and programmatic footprint, has hard-working and dedicated staff, manages government contracts (if you want exposure to government), and has a committed board. Because of its size, there are opportunities for career growth if you're motivated and are savvy at negotiating office politics.
Cons
Despite all appearances to the contrary, Fedcap’s antiquated operational, technical, financial and communications infrastructure cannot support its sudden and rapid growth, attained primarily through mergers and acquisitions. Many of its departments operate without any strategic direction and staff spends much of the time running from one urgent need or event to another without any thorough planning, discussion and evaluation. Fedcap has been known to reassign staff roles arbitrarily and without any consideration of individual career goals or preferences, despite good performance. Salaries and benefits are on the low end for nonprofits and there’s pressure to work beyond normal business hours, reducing compensation further. Its long history with government contracts inherently gives it a bureaucratic and detached feel, particularly to its clients, but to staff as well. In spite of its 80-year history, Fedcap has little brand recognition.
