      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - I have always felt I am a valuable and contributing part of the foundation. - My participation is always valued and requested. - Opportunity for personal growth is amazing - Compensation and benefits are more than fair. - Outreach possibilities within the community are encouraged - Foundation fosters a family-like work environment. - Incentives are high for "green" workplace/commute

      Cons

      - It does take quite a bit of effort and and indeterminate amount of meetings for decisions to be made. - Organization as a whole is slow to change

      Fast pace, highly critical environment with tremendous potential for impact

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Few organizations offer the same opportunity to have significant impact on the field. Colleagues for the most part are world class, dedicated professionals.

      Cons

      Significant amount of internal bureacracy weighs down staff and makes day to day tasks near impossible. Highly politicized environment resulting in limited trust between employees and divisions. Debilitating lack of internal management skill.
