Pros

Flexible work schedule, good benefits and PTO, generally respectful culture, making an impact on cancer research, advocacy and the patients they serve

Cons

Too much pressure on managers to drive revenue with not enough support or accountability from leadership and below industry standard compensation. Expectations of YOY revenue growth by 20% with 3% or less salary increase annually that doesn’t match cost of living standards. Too much emphasis on following national campaign standards rather than overall outcomes and doing what works for each market and volunteers. Fake DEI initiatives to pretend they are working toward equity within the org when there are no measures of accountability or improvement. Less than 150 POC employees in a nearly 1000 person workforce, majority of patients served are also white. Outward facing materials and national representatives intentionally depict a higher level of diversity than in reality. Often hire people with little to no experience in the type of role they are in, sometimes even hiring college graduates who have never had a job before for mid-senior level management positions which puts a strain on others within the market team. Many directors have no people management experience or skills and do not have a full grasp on what their employees are responsible for, leaving too much on the shoulders of mid level managers.

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.
