Pros
Staff is mostly young and dedicated to the mission plus willing to work very long hours.
Cons
Founder's syndrome which leads to serious management issues. Constant bottleneck from the top in getting decisions made in a timely way. Poor work/life balance. High turnover of key staff. Low pay plus odd benefits coverage. Low morale. Board asked staff to change results of Founder's 360 eval b/c the results were too upsetting.
