Pros

The vast majority of people I work with at TNC are amazing and kind, incredibly smart and have good attitudes. My schedule is mostly flexible and I have some autonomy of what I do on a daily basis. We get to work with a variety of partners and community groups in beautiful places. I also like to possibility of moving up the ladder so to speak, and have access to many different career paths within the same organization.

Cons

There may be a bit of a top heavy approach, with many executives etc, and not enough boots on the ground to really do the good work we need to do. It is competitive to get in and starting pay is just OK at the more entry levels.

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.
