Pros

MISSION, research, marketing is great. Work life balance, compensation are good. They let anyone work from home. You can't beat it. People for the most part are great.

Cons

New coaching philosophy is a turn off - grabbing employees to meditate and run through deep breathing if they perceive you need it is really not working. We have issues to solve, let's forget this and get down to business. No training available at all these days. Some leaders have favorites who can do no wrong and are over empowered. THis will be a task for the CEO to breakdown. I only wouldn't recommend to a friend right now because we are in an interim state until a CEO is named. Innovation is not welcome in some areas of the business.

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.
