Pros

The organization is mission driven and focused on changing the culture. Due to the controversy surrounding the issue of abortion, the work requires great commitment. It's not easy nor for the faint of heart. The outcome though is Vitae's tremendous impact across the country and around the world. Partly due to the ads produced for traditional and non traditional media. The larger player in that impact though is the right brain consumer research that they have invested so heavily in over the years. Also, they don't just use anyone to conduct the studies, they went to one of the best in the industry, Dr. Charles Kenney. He is known for his work with many Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, this little non profit located a town with a population of 39,000, has spent $1million on research and media for every year of legalized abortion. I go to work each day knowing that my work means something and is changing the world.

Cons

Needs to find new office and expand.

Pros

Good cause at it's core

Cons

This organization is completely ruled by hierarchy. The top level managers, exec team, CEO, etc. do not care about anything else but keeping funds coming in to support their huge salaries. They do not keep track of their own time off - whenever it suits them they take off WITH pay, while meticulously scrutinizing lower-paid employees. The way things are done are stuck in the 90's and no one wants to change, as long as the checks cash. Though, the donations are dwindling due to the relative old-age of the donors, and lack of anything new and exciting to attract a younger donorship group. With large salaries of "Christian" execs who are predominately bullies and snobs, dwindling donations due to archaic ways of doing things, and insane spending on frivolous items, it's a wonder how Vitae stays in business. I feel for founder Carl Landwehr. He's a great guy whom I've known a while and respect. Unfortunately, this is not the late 90's and things need to change - huge salaries for starters!
