Pros

Important mission. Great co-workers. Family friendly. Generous vacation and benefits. Great reputation in the community.

Cons

Executive Director micromanages every aspect of the organization. Nothing goes out the door without her edits, input, and approval meaning every project is delayed forever (sometimes months) unless it is one of her pet projects. Old style, top-down management. Low employee morale among those who work closely with ED. No real strategic planning.

Pros

It's a great cause and a once-wonderful organization

Cons

Lack of respect from management; new executive director is very "corporate" and cares little about what those in the trenches know/think/hear from the families PACER helps. Salaries are (too) high at the top but those who work to help families struggle on the low salaries that subsidize management salaries and perks.
