Pros

I love working here because I feel like I'm making a difference in the world. I feel like I'm contributing to an important community. And because I work for an internationally-known organization, it also looks pretty good on my resume. I get moderately good experience in my field as well. Our office is small (45 administrative staff for the entirety of the three programs), so I have to wear a lot of hats.

Cons

The entire staff is well above forty. This means that they treat me like I'm their kid, because they all have children my age. Most of them have very little technical awareness. For example, our accounting department doesn't even know how to use the SUM function in Excel. It gets incredibly frustrating, because even in such a small organization the bureaucracy is overwhelming and completely bogs down our mission. I'm frustrated, because I feel like I should be contributing to society and helping to accomplish change. But for now, it feels like we're just barely cleaning up after society's messes.
