      A place of work that stretched me. Pay is not high, but good-grounded coworkers.

      Pros

      -Close-knit, supportive work environment -Monthly team-bonding activities, occasional non-work-related events to know co-workers outside of the office -Changing departments or offices is supported -Great PTO and benefits -Meeting clients at first is intimidating, but after being a trusted face, you will build great relationships with clients and their families (Be sure to have professional boundaries though)

      Cons

      -You will have a workload. The 9-5 with some weeks did not feel like enough (and I worked over for sure, my full amount of flex-time was never compensated by the time I left lol) -Structure is pretty loose -Individual departments are not big (e.g. 1-3 people for departments). Do not be surprised in being a one-man show of your department -Most days, expect your to-do list or schedule to change if your supervisor notifies you of a new deadline or a client comes in. It is not even done in an intruding way most of the time, it is just the environment -Training is limited. You will learn hands on (both a pro and con) -Weeks up to monitoring (e.g. like auditing in a way) are stressful.

      Pros

      An incredible place to work where colleagues are talented, dedicated, and highly skilled. People really care about clients and go the extra mile. The director of the Baltimore office tackled hard issues at staff meetings with amazing grace. Their response to COVID-19 organizationally was tremendously professional. I felt well informed and their were many ways to access different kinds of support. Truly a great community to be part of.

      Cons

      Like most non-profits the pay is low. There are also few opportunities for middle management. The workload is also large.
