Pros

Great clients - the clients are always the reason for coming to work

Cons

Incompetent and unethical executive management Poor hiring attitude (exec mgmt uses the "warm body" hiring strategy, which puts clients and staff at risk) Terrible pay, which exec management then uses as the excuse for why they hire people with no motivation or work ethic Reactive rather than proactive management strategies by exec mgmt Exec mgmt expects you to hide information from the funding source, which makes for a terrible culture of secrecy and "no snitching" attitudes - which also creates a very unsafe environment Exec mgmt protects poor behaving higher ups rather than solving problems

Pros

- Good experience for recent grads due to situations that arise (think: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere)

Cons

- High turnover rate due to poor management - Non-competitive salary - No advancement opportunities - Deceitful management techniques - Their way of making you feel developed or involved is by requesting ideas and feedback to develop improvements, but nothing is done due to their bottom-line being priority #1. - Only certain people involved for years with upper management get a “seat at the table”
