Damagingly political, old fashioned, hierarchical

Pros

Struggling a bit here...the aim of the org is obviously good. Good place for lead-swingers, bureaucrats and the subordinate

Cons

Like working in one of those historical re-enactment places. Change resistant doesn't even hint at it. If you're comfortable working in an upstairs downstairs environment, insane levels of bureaucracy and admin with no prospects for advancement, apply within. PS as a newcomer you will be 'downstairs'.
