Pros

Management is pretty good. They try to get you to do different things and accommodate based on what your skill set is and what you want to do long term. They will attempt to pivot you and try to mold you into your career path.

Cons

Senior managers and directors seem to have favorites and some people are in positions they don’t have the experience for. But it’s based off of who you know and how you get along. Promotions are not always fair and some people tend to get picked that do not deserve a promotion compared to the people that work endless hours to meet program needs.
