Pros

The people who work here and the mission make it a great place to work. A good work-life balance is also a helpful part of retention among employees. Overall, it is a great place to work!

Cons

As a nonprofit, salary is not as competitive for the position as you would find in a for-profit company, despite the benefits being very good.

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.
