Pros

Some of the most tenured staff are amazing people, but are few and far between as they retire.

Cons

The C level's are elitist and constantly rewarding themselves with praises and raises. No professional growth opportunity what so ever. FTE's collect paychecks, while pushing as much work as possible onto Juniors/Interns. Pay was atrocious. Benefits were mediocre at best.

Pros

A community of mission-driven staff who truly care about the planet and the causes that EDF advances. Extremely smart and kind staff. Incredible benefits, including a significant amount of company days off (summer Fridays, org shut-down for one week at the end of August, days off include Veteran's Day and Juneteenth); very generous benefits.

Cons

Out-of-touch top leadership, especially Executive Director, who pretends to be authentic and caring but isn't at all.
