Pros

Social benefit you receive from working for a non-profit organization. Very large national non-profit that is very connected in many communities around the nation. For the most part the co-workers are cordial.

Cons

You work very long days and sometimes weekends for little pay and recognition. There is often a lack of leadership from the national office and you spend a lot of time streamlining processes that already should have been streamlined.
