Pros

The feeling that you're helping underprivileged communities and children. While the organization isn't great, their mission is noble and generally well intentioned.

Cons

Very frustrating internal politics. Frequently, top level decisions were not well communicated and explained. Often forced to take on projects without a clear purpose.
