Pros

The people whose jobs are directly in service of the underrepresented tend to be good but having to run to them every time to get even a simple form taken care is soul-crushing.

Cons

Davis people see themselves as righteous and progressive but are blind to their own privilege. They 'tsk' at anyone not exactly like them. There's a ton of subtle racism, sexism, and friction against the underrepresented. It's pretty soul-crushing to constantly have your emails and phone calls never returned when you're just trying to follow policy and do your job, all the while watching the people of the 'right' groups get responses. Try to talk to anyone about it and their response is always about how progressive they are. They will NOT admit they have a problem. Meanwhile I've been the target of ethnic slurs repeatedly.
