Pros
This is the most rewarding, fulfilling, purpose-filled job I have ever had. My heart is genuinely full when I'm doing my job. I see the impact our organization makes on a daily basis and it really is meaningful work. I love to see the service members happy and it makes me feel really good when I know we're doing something great for them. Our mission is one that I stand by strongly and believe there are many others within our organization who feel the same way.
Cons
The workplace culture is not always great. We see subpar managers get pushed into higher positions and called "leaders" or moved around to avoid conflict, but nothing really changes. Work-Life balance is not always the best and sometimes I feel like superiors know that they can get away with asking us to do more for the same pay because we care deeply about the service members and the USO mission.
