Pros

Inspirational mission Mission-oriented, dedicated staff Thinks globally, acts locally Many highly decentralized operating units Flexible work environment Best field visits ever

Cons

Sometimes the HQ Executive Leadership gets enthralled by the latest buzz, and moves out ahead of the organization - burdening it with layers of costs - without resulting in any tangible benefits, before getting enthralled by the next shiny object. These Exec folks are not as dyed in the values as the local on the ground staff, since they sometimes work at TNC because that's the only job they could land in the beltway. TNC definitely gets better the closer you get to the land in the field offices . . .

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
