Vantaggi
Benefits, learning experience and personal growth. The benefits at UW are amazing. The first year you have three weeks vacation and 12 personal days. Not to mention there were time we would get extra days off. Depending on if we reached our campaign goal in December. We would receive an extra week off between Christ,as and new years. The insurance was nothing. I do not have a family and I received full coverage for no money at all. For families it was 25.00 a paycheck I think. Could be possibly less. I paid 0.67 a month for dental! I also learned a lot from upper management there. They want to see you succeed and help teach you as much as possible to make sure your doing your job correctly and learning.
Svantaggi
Pay. Its a non-profit whihc pays decent but in the larger cities where the cost of living is higher it equals out to being not all that great. I would have to say that might be one of the only downsides I saw. Sometimes you are over worked but I honestly didnt think it was that bad. We all have to make sacrifices, especially in a non-profit enviornment. Development especially because you are always networking. At the United Way in Miami Im pretty sure they did not let the hourly employees receive overtime as well. Although I think some of them worked over time on occasions. That was their choice though.
