Pros

The Posse process is just as good at finding amazing (lower level) staff as it is at finding wonderful Scholars. There are many passionate and wonderful individuals working hard for a mission they believe in. The Scholars and Alumni almost make the awfulness worthwhile...almost.

Cons

During my interview the position that I eventually accepted was explained much differently than it actually is. I was told there would be much more responsibility and project ownership in the role, and that this was very specifically not an assistant position. The reality however has been that my position is consistently looked at as being an assistant to the majority of the office. Not to mention long tedious hours of incredibly basic data entry and "logistics management", which actually just consists of printing papers and packing supplies for other people in the office. The word "hierarchy" is thrown around more in this office than in any place I have ever worked and it has been made clear, nationally, which positions are on the very bottom of the list. It is very much accepted that people in these roles will not last past two years (most won't make it longer than 8 months). As someone who had a few years of work experience before accepting the position it took about 3 months to understand the position fully and run out of new things to learn. There is also little to no opportunity for professional growth or promotion within the organization.
