Pros

The cause is important, and the people generally mean well. Some people seem to do well here, and to enjoy the work and environment. Staff generally seem to work strictly 9-5, which is pretty uncommon.

Cons

To be fair, this was a few years ago, but my experience was not very positive: - Diversity is extremely low, and company culture is not inclusive - Departments are highly siloed, and some are more valued than others - Frequently hire temporary employees, who receive low pay, are not treated as equals, and are provided few opportunities for growth/entry into the company. - Management is unaware and inconsiderate of issues that staff are experiencing - Every job is essentially fundraising - there is little project management, creativity, or other skills involved, as heavy guidance comes from the national office and everything is outlined for you

Pros

Flexible hours (but with the implementation of meeting metrics, poor schedule). Great time off and benefits.

Cons

The mission is inspiring, but employee well-being often feels secondary to organizational demands. Chronic understaffing, high turnover, and frequent organizational changes create an environment where employees are expected to take on responsibilities far beyond their job descriptions. Workloads can become unsustainable, particularly during campaign seasons, leading to burnout and low morale. Goals and budget expectations are often aggressive and may not reflect local market realities or available resources. Employees are held accountable for outcomes that can be heavily influenced by factors outside of their control, while support and staffing do not always keep pace with expectations. Communication and transparency from leadership could be improved. Decisions affecting employees are sometimes made without meaningful input from those doing the day-to-day work, and organizational restructuring can create uncertainty and instability. Many talented and passionate employees leave because they feel overworked, undervalued, and unsupported despite their dedication to the mission. While working at a regional office, there was strong lack of trust towards the national office from all of the employees.
