Pros

Great mission. Science staff are very smart and fun to work with. Feeling like your work, no matter how tedious is helping to make the world a better place. There are still good programs and departments to work for and possibly even some great chapters left. However, this was not my experience.

Cons

Leadership at the Chapter level is non existent. Favoritism. Nepotism. Flexible schedule and work from home perks are not consistent within and across departments. Disproportionate workload among rank and file staff. Philanthropy department leadership is particularly incompetent and dysfunctional. Zero reward for hardworking employees except for more work. Bad employees are not managed or reprimanded. There has been a major talent exodus in the CA Philanthropy Dept. with the best staff moving on to global programs or leaving the organization.

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.
