      Pros

      Some good people, some not so. Honorable cause. Benefits are better than most places.

      Cons

      They speak a big game, but are a mess internally. Organization is trying to rebuild by running lean after laying off so many during the early pandemic. This translates to people doing the job of three to four people. Micromanagement beyond belief. No real opportunities to get to really know your team or coworkers. They claim a good work/life balance, but it's all talk. Depending on what division you work in, there are unrealistic expectations. There is obvious favoritism and clicks within the organization. Not to mention, it can be your fault if someone else does not do their part. Left me questioning certain ethical standards. Managers could benefit from diversity, empathy and leadership training, that is actually implemented.

      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.
