Pros

They off competitive non-profit pay, excellent benefits and time off. With a small chapter staff, each employee really has the opportunity to get their hands in all aspects of business - there is opportunity for those that are motivated. Working towards a great mission makes any job easier and they have a great reputation for putting funds towards finding a cure.

Cons

Upper management at my location often lacked tact and professionalism in many different settings. Issues were brought to the attention of national-level HR, which seemingly chose to ignore proven complaints in order to keep a longtime employee. The environment became way too stressful to deal with on a daily basis. I'm sure this is not the case across the board, but was my experience at one location.

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.
