Pros

Excellent benefits, great mission, potentially interesting work

Cons

Management and HR do not know what they are doing. I never got a job description. I never got annual goals. Rarely spoke to my direct manager and when I did the answer was "ask your peers" There was an environment of secrecy. Any suggestions were taken as over-stepping. Management was through intimidation and threat. My department was predominantly Subcontinental Indian male. If you are not an Asian or a male you really do not belong there. The work could be creative and interesting. Senior management has their own view of what needs to be done and a different way is not acceptable or even welcomed. Short term cost over-rides long term benefits. A constant theme was that once you stopped caring about doing quality work, you get along better and are happier. If you wanted to do a good job, there was no support to do so. There was plenty of support for mediocrity. HR did not properly onboard. Forms were not properly filed. Took forever to get a key to the door. Did not intercede when there was no job description/annual goals. I quit because I could not longer stand the pressure of never knowing what I supposed to be doing and then being literally yelled at when I asked for an answer.

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.
