      Awkward environment, micromanagement in certain areas.

      Pros

      Generous benefits and time off policy including holidays. Shortened workday of 7 hours.

      Cons

      Micromanagement - doesn't allow you to make decisions. They need to go all the way up through the CFO. Favoritism over some areas - a lot of areas work from home or are never in the office, while other departments are tied to their desk in the office. MacArthur Foundation is such a great place on the outside, but the inside is completely different. No opportunities for advancement A lot of older folks who are at retirement age, but still work there. So the foundation has an older more outdated way of handling things.

      Disappointed in leadership and treatment of administrative staff

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits; support of some great causes

      Cons

      Very poor management skills especially from the senior leaders. A few self-proclaimed super stars dominate the decision making. There is no clear vision for success for most. Staff members are encouraged to speak up and then are reprimanded when they do.
