      Cons

      - Higher ups pretend to be transparent about issues that impact employees, but are not honest - Raises are unfair every year for the past 10 years -- high raises for top managers, low raises for most others - Employee annual performance appraisal system is completely inadequate - Career advancement is not available to employees at the entry level

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate all the positive aspects you listed, such as feeling valued and respected but are disappointed to hear about the negative aspects. TNC is committed to carrying out our work with accountability and transparency. This includes internally sharing or global compensation structure and reviewing market data annually to ensure its competitive and equitable.

Last month, we launched the rebranding of our Performance process to focus more on frequent coaching and developing.

      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.
