Pros
Their mission is important and there are many well-meaning people. The affiliate staff and volunteers are passionate about the cause. The pay is competitive with other area nonprofits and the benefits are good.
Cons
Where should I begin? This place is a mess! Employee moral was already low, but after the Planned Parenthood debacle and subsequent drop in donations, it is horrible. The senior staff are self-centered and their attempts to develop and support employees comes across as contrived and superficial. The board provides no real leadership and defers entirely to the founder and CEO. It is a prime example of Founder's Syndrome. There is an unhealthy tension (to put it mildly) between the affiliates and the national office that makes it hard to get things done. The good staff have departed or are looking to leave, and the ones who remain are too incompetent to find another job. Don't be fooled by talk of "work-life balance." How can an organization be balanced when its senior staff don't know the meaning of the word?
