Pros
The people who work at MissionWired are passionate about making the world a better place. It feels amazing to work somewhere that has values that align not only with the clients but also with my own. The result is a feeling of being a part of a holistic cause that is about more than just getting a paycheck. The company also really puts their money where their mouth is in terms of internal values, too, not just championing progressive causes externally, but also valuing workers with policies and resources accordingly.
Cons
The work can be emotionally taxing because we deal with causes that are critically important to the current political climate. We feel the highs and lows of the political cycle, which means we are emotionally invested in the good and bad outcomes of politics. This also means we tend to be busier during critical election periods. This also can be inspiring and so worthwhile when it feels like we've made an impact, but it is a reality of the work.
