Pros

Working from home is nice

Cons

- Overpaid and out of touch C-Suite - Upper management who claims they will help, but never does when the time comes - Unrealistic fundraising goals - A combatative nature between different departments where they are all chasing the same dollars from the same individuals - After several major staff layoffs, they spent over $100k on flights, lodging, and other areas for a development retreat in 2025 that was completely useless but only done so the CFO and his team could appear that they are doing their jobs - They care more about their image of unity, but not practicing what they preach - Because of additional staff cutbacks they have given pre-existing staff those responsibilities without increasing anyone's pay - Will come up with excuses as to why they cannot increase one's compensation, even if they exceed fundraising goals - The only way to get your workload done is to work past normal operating hours
