This is one of many reasons I never worked for non-profits. Funding impacts jobs.

Brief update: I'm now eligible for their 401K plan; no word on health insurance and/or PTO. I'll wait and see if its worth opting in to as I'm already funding a Roth IRA.

why isn't it worth using? A 401k gives you a tax shelter... even with no match, it is a good thing to have if you don't need the money to spend...

You'll get group health too. 401k and group health are regulated such that they must offer it to all FT employees (or none). That is why these are called group plans.

It doesn't look good, from what you've said. Your bargaining power will be precisely ZERO if you accept the new position under the current terms. If you want to negotiate with management, do it *before* you accept the position and get everything in writing (and print it out).

As others on the thread have mentioned, it looks like the main priority is to slash the labor budget and do more with less. I'd take the new, full-time position and start submitting resumes for other full time jobs. By time you land an interview, you'll probably have a few months experience at the full time position.
