Pros
The employees, the funders, the advisory boards, the educators -- a great group of people, together, fighting for a common cause. Another pro, the extremely high turn over rate resulting in quick lateral movement, and not to mention the desperation for staffing so everyone gets hired regardless of skill set. No structure or organization so you can do whatever you want and whenever you want, another bonus.
Cons
High turn over rate. New employees every few months because C-level execs don't care about the people or the cause, resulting in people quitting left and right. No trust between C-levels and employees leading to a destructive work culture. Upper-management is condescending, rude and unprofessional. Hard not to believe that the CEO and COO's first priority isn't making connections with other C-levels, funders, donors, "big players" etc. and reaping in the benefits. There is no denying that they have no passion at all for education.
