Pros

- I have always felt I am a valuable and contributing part of the foundation. - My participation is always valued and requested. - Opportunity for personal growth is amazing - Compensation and benefits are more than fair. - Outreach possibilities within the community are encouraged - Foundation fosters a family-like work environment. - Incentives are high for "green" workplace/commute

Cons

- It does take quite a bit of effort and and indeterminate amount of meetings for decisions to be made. - Organization as a whole is slow to change
