Pros

The model and theory behind the work is correct given the organization's role in the world of anti-hunger advocacy. Enthusiastic, talented people who are excited about the work they're doing and it shows. My direct managers were always helpful, communicative, and invested in my personal development and happiness at the organization.

Cons

Some staff changes at the time had left us understaffed, particularly in important programmatic work Much of the work supports other organizations, and from a development standpoint the line between advocating for yourselves and taking credit for others achievements can be difficult to navigate A feast/famine model in regards to both work and funding - some periods had long hours and weekends in preparation for events while others were very easy and flexible.

Pros

-You can travel to interesting places. -You meet some really wonderful activists from around the country and the world. -Lots of "lower" staff members are friendly and fun to be around. -A good chance to understand and engage with the issues surrounding the work and mission.

Cons

-The leadership in this place (especially on the Programs side) is like the movie Mean Girls. It's all about preferential treatment, favoritism, and closed-door conversations and decisions. Lots of bullying. No HR dept. to speak of. -Very clear (but unspoken) racism from upper management, as well as lack of respect for younger employees. -People get hired and fired in the place out of the blue and it's demoralizing to the staff. -Lack of equity in terms of benefits. Some people could work from home when they liked, and others did not have this flexibility (even those who need it more). -Too much time planning, too little time implementing. -Senior management disregards deadlines often and demand your flexibility. However, they have the "right" to do whatever they want. They can be 3 hours late to a meeting or reschedule it a fifth time. Your time is not important to them.
