Pros

Global organization that is based on science. Thorough onboarding process and staff support. Many employees have a long tenure with the org. Well organized, thoughtful strategic plan, and incredible staff and volunteer leadership. Ample resources both physical (shared vehicle) and non-physical (training and robust online community) Amazing donors who are generous and engaged!

Cons

Opportunities do not frequently open due to low turnover rate. ;)

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave your review! I'm especially glad to hear your onboarding process was supportive and thorough! That's such a critical piece! We do have one of the lowest turnover rates, so while opportunities may not be readily available I hope you take advantage of the programs for professional development. :) Please feel free to reach out to your HRBP or recruiting@tnc.org if you'd like to be connected with resources.

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.
