      Pros

      TNC's mission is first class and they believe in it and drive towards it. It feels good to wake up every day and work in a place where people really care about the mission. The people are smart and friendly most of the time. The culture at HQ values congeniality. [work at HQ, mileage may vary in sattelite offices] Unlike a lot of private sector companies, the HR department is empowered to act and cares about getting it right and gives tools to people to help them do it right. Diversity is valued. Work-life balance is respected. For those who are willing to seize all the opportunities available, you can do some really great things that make a difference for the planet. Pay is reasonable for an org this size and in this sector.

      Cons

      Like most orgs in this sector, diversity is valued but there's a long way to go in achieving actual diversity in workforce makeup. An organization this large, with this much history does not change quickly -- those looking to make a "big splash" and "make their mark" will get frustrated at the slow pace of change, but the opportunities to grow and learn are there if you are willing to be proactive in managing your career path. As is often true in big organizations, the higher up you get, the opportunities to advance are less obvious and fewer. Senior leadership tends to shift around a lot -- sometimes it's hard to tell if what they are adapting to is the realities of getting the mission done or the egos in the mix, best to keep your eye on both.

      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.
