Pros

The coworkers are very intelligent individuals who are dedicated to the mission. They all pitch in and do their very best. The mission is also great, just wish the employees had the opportunity to experiment and discover how things work.

Cons

The management especially the CEO is the biggest reason why the organization is the way it is. It is filled with mistrust. The management feel that everyone need to be micromanaged. Instead of guiding and encouraging their employees to be creative they scold when mistakes are made. For an education organization, it's pretty sad that management doesn't understand that mistakes happen as a process of learning. What's more sickening is that if management do not know how to have a spirited debate. If someone suggests something that does not meet their ideas they just shoot that person down without giving any thought. This leads to a corrosive and demoralizing environment.
