Pros

Healthy working environment, thought it varies across departments. Hybrid work structure allows for some flexibility with work and life balance. Work is meaningful and directly impactful.

Cons

At times hectic and leadership styles and effectiveness can vary from department to department. The organization is often understaffed and either work slows or staff take on some extra responsibilities. Not much opportunities for promotions.

Awesome team-led initiatives; project-driven employment; never a dull moment. Opportunities to develop and lead projects. Extremely supportive work environment. The work environment is ever-changing with technology, which is a pro. It enables staff to further test and utilize new technology applications.

Cons

Leadership is a necessary evil. Lack of operations protocols for service partners. No clear promotional opportunities in certain departments.

PW pays well comparatively to most nonprofit orgs.

Mismanaged from the top down, most of leadership is out of touch with the work their teams accomplish. Poor planning leads to a never ending scramble to catch up.
