Pros

Colleagues are intelligent, truly dedicated to conservation, and most are strong collaborators. Salaries are competitive. Strong work-life balance with Nature Fridays (off every Friday).

Cons

Leadership is hit or miss. Some managers lack basic core competencies, and professional development only happens if you are well-liked by the hiring manager. Lots of microaggressions. Some colleagues have been there for many years (10+), but they really seem to be coasting in their careers. This could be a pro because it's a great workplace to work until retirement, but it does give old guard.

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
