Pros

The Mission is an amazing one and every day I feel fulfilled in my job. I love the volunteers. I love my co-workers. I have been able to make an amazing contribution over the past five years. My local office has worked with me after I had my baby and allowed me extreme flexibility and support. The people I work with are amazing (in my office).

Cons

* Very low pay for how hard we work. Pay seems to be arbitrary and based on items that I have never seen. I am looking for work now that pays a liveable wage as I have become a breadwinner for my family. I pay almost $600/month for insurance! * National Management, National Board, and new CEO are out of touch. I predicted the fall of TNT over three years ago. Yet.....no one cared about what anyone thought that wasn't in the "in" crowd. * Very reactive. Not proactive. * Locally I have amazing leadership---though we have been without an Executive Director for over 4 years and cannot get one. It's chapter suicide. * I always have the feeling that there is no communication at the top. It is very top heavy. They laid off 50 people before our fiscal year but promoted, hired, and reassigned more than 50. Why do I need 3-4 bosses? * I really wonder about the long-term health....I imagine some huge issues in the next few years...

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.
