Nice mission, Great health care plan.

Leaders come and go, and no-one is accountable for bad decisions. Mid-manager group memebrs are not professionals with bad work ethics. Senior management are not business minded, incapable of proper planning.

A place only for entry level seeking employees

Program coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a comfortable place to work in, mostly because you're not challenged at all, you're not working very hard, and there's no managerial guidance at all. So if you're looking for a place to lay down this is it.

Cons

No career development, no feedback from seniors, no salary increases
