Pros

- Amazing coworkers - I've learned so much from them and consider many to be good friends. - The organization really makes a difference. - In some areas, lots of opportunity for advancement. - Great benefits, and non-management employees are represented by a union, which creates a lot of loyalty.

Cons

- Salaries are a bit lower than similar organizations. - Easy to get complacent - I've seen it happen to many people. - There have been lots of strategic changes over the past few years. Change is good, but it leaves a lot of lower-level employees unsure of how to do their jobs. - Funding crunches.

Pros

It was like this since the beginning

Cons

An executive who still works there kept asking certain people of color to create proposals he confirmed several times that he was very interested in hiring them for or giving them a contract. They spent hundreds of hours over years creating these propsals. Not only did he not pay them, he didn't even thank them.
