Pros

Some of the people who work there are wonderful.

Cons

Literally everything. You will be working way more than 40 hrs when things are busy and they don't care that you have a life, kids, school, your own health, or whatever else to worry about. You're expected to put this job before literally anything, no questions asked, no excuses. Management is rude and catty and the shifts are like highschool cliques. The pay and benefits suck and it's hard to move up.

Pros

great learning environment for transferring skills to a better company

Cons

almost no paid holidays; only get christmas and new years day, must take PTO for additional days like christmas eve, etc. no room for promotion, they prefer to hire from outside while keeping experienced staff in the same position at the same salary fast turnover employee rate means those that stick around are often doing the job of 2-3 persons at the same salary while constantly waiting for new people to be hired who you will also be responsible for training. make you sit in crowded open office layouts while a gigantic room full of private cubicles sits empty in order for management to keep tabs and micromanage.

Pros

Easy hours and solid pay for an entry level position. The MAC position is capped at 40 hours per week with no overtime, so burnout is easier to avoid. The work itself is not demanding, the emails/texting/calling can be tedious but that’s just part of working in donor recruitment and I didn’t hate it. For the most part, the team in the office is friendly and welcoming and makes most days a pleasurable experience. You’ll get to travel a lot around Eastern Washington and North Idaho which was mostly enjoyable.

Cons

The biggest con is a culture that is, quite honestly, disappointing. Management offered little in the way of motivation outside of “hey guys, our numbers need to be better”. We were coached constantly on being proactive, but subject to constant last second changes and failures due to lack of preparation from management and the team. Success is rarely, if ever celebrated. Had a good day and met goal? You’ll get a 5 second shoutout in the huddle tomorrow morning. That’s it. Additional complaints would include poor communication from management and between departments, as well as a staggering amount of micromanagement. My supervisor made me document every. Minute. Of. My. Day. No lie. I had to keep excruciatingly detailed notes on how I spent my office day for “efficiency purposes”, only to never receive feedback of any kind on my efficiency or work, essentially making those notes a colossal waste of time that could’ve been spent doing something actually productive. All told, quitting was the best decision I could’ve made.
