Pros

Challenging work but great staff and volunteers. Well developed plan and goals. Working out of the office or on the road often. Great to have engagement with local families. Good benefits, nice perk of having birthday and work anniversary off as a holiday!

Cons

Fundraising events can be very aggressive for participants and volunteers. Fundraisers and directors are pushed hard to meet goals. Long hours. Staff tends to burn out.

Pros

Mission driven, lots of flexibility and great relationships. The families and sponsors are amazing. The company continues to make changes that are beneficial to its employees.

Cons

National employees don't always have a good sense of what it's like in the field. Sometimes the cart is ahead of the horse.
