Pros
The benefits are the best, from robust health benefits to unlimited vacation time and choice of hybrid or remote schedules. EDF’s compensation package is above standard in comparison to other nonprofits.
Cons
Typical nonprofit environment, do a lot more with very little resources. While some managers are understanding and supportive, others are just absolutely unreasonable with their needs and requirements. Some tend to over work and push tight deadlines on their associates. There have been several times where I was pushed to work nights and weekends. A program manager even bothered me on vacation once because she wanted something done - I of course ignored her. I have even seen an associate wanting to leave early from work sick, and while on her way home, received several messages on Slack from a manager to complete specific tasks (that could have waited for another day) when she gets home. Burn out is an issue!!
