Pros

Excellent flexibility for college students, the actual job is highly rewarding as well as the opportunity to make a difference

Cons

Management and the company itself continuously bend principles of ethics. I've had to provide a note from my primary physician in order to use the bathroom and have water in the back work room throughout the work day. Management vehemently expresses favoritism and employs bullying tactics to ensure employee fear. I've had my personal items thrown away during my day off via management without notice because they were "cluttering the space". I've made numerous calls to HR with no response. They don't care about you as a human nor an employee, you mean nothing to them. Additionally, the work environment is immensely unsafe and routinely breaks fire codes and OSHA regulation.

Pros

This place does so much good for the community that the community does not know it does.

Cons

Not a con with the organization, but the space is hard to keep up with compensation wise

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
