Avantages
The work done by this organization is critical and incredibly important to the community. The work done in the Development office is what funds the entire organization so what you do in this position matters, you make a huge impact. The office is business casual and you can make friends here quickly. The staff is compassionate and comprised of some of the most amazing people you may ever meet. If you are working here for the cause- you will feel fulfilled.
Inconvénients
The hours and expectations aren't clearly outlined from the get-go. You are a contract worker and will only get paid the 40 hours you are expected to be in the office. Most of this job is data entry, tracking, cold calls, promotional material design, and communication with past participants/organizations, which is great. It's when the meetings and events start piling up and you're suddenly working a 60 hour week that it becomes exhausting for some. Your schedule won't matter for the most part. Some one (if not everyone) from your team has to be at these events and you might only get an afternoon of notice. It can be a demanding environment and, like with many non-profits, complaining about putting in the extra hours with no pay can make you feel like a monster.
