Pros

If you want to be part of an organization dedicated to making a difference today and in the future, this is the place for you. I have worked here for over 22 years, and here are some reasons why I continue to support this organization: - The rich history and commitment to research funding - The dedicated staff - A healthy work-life balance and flexibility - An excellent benefits package Throughout my time at CRI, I have had the opportunity to interact with executives, fundraisers, and supporters, which has greatly contributed to my networking and professional growth. My department supervisor also offers valuable feedback and provides the freedom to explore new ways to develop and grow within my role.

Cons

As a small organization, I take pride in our strength and resilience. With the recent transition to new leadership, I am excited about the opportunities ahead. Given this change, it would not be appropriate to highlight any drawbacks associated with the previous administration, as they do not accurately represent our organization's current direction and potential. I believe in focusing on the future and the positive impact we can make moving forward.

Pros

- learning the non profit world - great health, dental and vision benefits for you and your family

Cons

- poor communication all around from all levels of the organization - no work/life balance - senior staff would benefit from encouraging junior staff to step up - reduce the amount of meetings and just send an email - CEO needs to retire and let someone else take charge. Stuck in antiquated ways that are not progressing the institute at all. -high turnover and you have to wear like 5 hats for the underpaid salary that you get - if you speak about something you do not like be sure to get fired and without notice

Pros

They were first in the field of cancer immunotherapy.

Cons

The above statement is possibly the only positive comment one can say about CRI. The inside politics and degradation from working in this organization with extremely overpaid, absent, and misguided senior staff is something I will never forget.
