Pros

NFPA's mission has set the organization apart as one of the most prominent and well respected organizations in the fire service and standards and codes industry. NFPA works with coalitions, federal, state and local governments to adopt stronger fire and life safety codes.

Cons

The capacity of the organization continues to grow, however, many employees are stretched thin across the many issue areas. The organization employs and works with committees of technical experts in all fields of fire safety, emergency management, nuclear safety, and all hazards planning.

Pros

The payscale NFPA uses means that people tend to get paid pretty well.

Cons

The environment is highly toxic, starting with the CEO. He's great at speaking and seeming like he cares about people and the company when presenting publicly, but he's a very different, mean-spirited person in more private meetings. Nothing pleases him more than attacking others and getting those around him to agree that he is always "directionally correct," which is a term I've never heard before or since, but heard all the time from the VPs. If anyone has to deal with him or the sycophants he's hired around him in the C-suite, your time at NFPA will likely be miserable. If you don't have to deal with them, you might be OK at NFPA.
