Pros
To work with a team of like-minded individuals that are passionate about what we do is outstanding! People are here for the right reasons and are motivated by helping people within the communities we live and work. To work a 4-day work week, receive 16 paid Holiday's and 192 vacation hours the first year- I think I'm working less days than a teacher! And what rewarding work it is. And the benefits we receive are way better than what other employers offer. We have health plan choice, and awesome stipends from the company to pay for our premiums. I literally have no out of pocket costs for the premium and I have my family on a ZERO deductible health plan.
Cons
Because we are a non-profit, we rely on Grants to provide our programs. A con is the uncertainty of the governments position on what grants will continue. Our leaders do an awesome job working to maintain the grants we have and apply for other that align with our mission.
