Vantaggi
- Quick, hands-on experience
- High level of trust and responsibility
- Rub shoulders with lots of people in ND who make big decisions
- Make community connections VERY quickly
- Lots of young professionals start careers here, easy to make friends and meet people in their 20's
- Turnover means you can jump forward in the hierarchy pretty quickly if you apply yourself
Svantaggi
- Pay for those at the bottom to mid is pretty terrible, especially compared to those at the top (c-suite making $100k/yr+ while coordinators are making $35k/yr barely surviving).
- "We're a family!" type culture, can get old very quickly
- Unspoken expectations with leadership
- Often unclear vision from leadership
- Workload ebbs and flows, with high-stress times being VERY high-stress
- Lots of turnover, causes all sorts of problems year-over-year as events and initiatives trade hands often
