Pros
Cause-oriented non-profit where you feel like the work you're making will improve the lives of marginalized and disenfranchised communities. But there are better organizations out there to do that.
Cons
Junior staffers are set up to fail. Management had no patience to train junior staffer and places unrealistic expectations on how quickly you should pick up organization standards, which aren't that organized to begin with. Management doesn't honor full-time terms of your employment and treats new hires like disposable interns. Not open to new ideas or approaches, organization standards are kept stodgy and out of date. Managers give instructions but when junior staffers comply, they blame junior staffers when it isn't exactly how they pictured it and get agitated after deciding they should do it themselves, without bothering to explain to junior staffers why it should be a certain way. No security or safety net for junior staffers. Managers have mediocre standards and punish junior staffers for doing things differently. Phony sense of cultural camraderie; who thinks it's a good idea to get everyone to stand from their desks in a yoga circle in the middle of an afternoon full of deadlines? Not even managers are discreet in conduct; in one instance, two managers--a man and woman--got into a shouting match in front of the CEO. CEO told off the woman manager to "not to engage" while not saying anything to male manager. Bad managers are a reflection of hiring practices from the top. Direct manager didn't bother with nurturing new hire past four weeks; reached out to speak with senior manager for concerns about own performance, only to find out I was getting fired. Contract said "full-time employee", not "contractual" or "probationary." Human rights organization.
