      Pros

      TNC has a great mission, and it feels good to further that mission. Most of the people in the ranks of regular employees are great to work with and really care about their work. The benefits and leave policies are good and they talk a good talk about treating staff well.

      Cons

      Leadership has been poor and unstable over the almost ten years that I have worked at TNC. Leaders come and go and are usually hired from outside and do not understand or value the institutional knowledge of longtime employees. Good performance is often rewarded with additional responsibilities to the point of overloading people, and the wrong people are often rewarded with promotions to leadership. The recent Living Our Values initiative to improve workplace culture aims to deal with leadership lack of accountability and poor management at all levels, but nothing has improved in the Marketing Division.

      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.
