Pros

This company is known for it's great benefits. I traveled frequently and got overtime. I loved the team I was a part of and the grantees I worked with.

Cons

A new CEO is reducing work force and responsibilities associated with this role. It went from overseeing logistics and relationships to a purely administrative one. There was only one time when anyone in this role got promoted, and it was through a highly competitive and unorganized round of promotions, which damaged morale and trust.
