Vantaggi
The Hub allows its employees to grow in their current roles. In fact, on day one I was told that I’d be doing the work of 2-3 people until we hired replacements (this was passed off to me as professional development), cultivating skills that only junior staffers could dream of! I also appreciate the transparency that the organization gives to its employees. For example, when I was hired I was told that my starting salary couldn’t be over a certain $$$ amount, but it wasn’t until I started working here that I found out management lied to me and could have matched my previous salary.
Svantaggi
Working at a nonprofit, you’ll find that the work is never done and it gets passed down to junior staffers like me. It’s also hard to separate the days from nights and work weeks from the weekends since folks will slack/email/call/text you at any given moment (even if it isn’t urgent). While I usually like the attention, it disrupts my work/life balance greatly. I also have to work a second job in order to make ends meet since the Hub will go out of its way to not pay you what you’re worth.
