Great organization, but gets itself tied in knots re: strategy - Director The Nature Conservancy Employee Review

Pros

Flexible hours, nice people, worthy mission. Great retirement and health insurance, but middling maternity leave (8 weeks).

Cons

Leadership changes = abrupt shifts in strategy from leadership without much thought given to the plebs actually doing the work. DEI work has caught TNC off guard, and it seems like leadership is unable to move past lip service in many business units.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the value you see in our flexible working schedules and benefits. Supporting work-life balance is very important to us as an organization. When it comes to leadership changes, many factors come into play when making decisions and one of those is how it will impact all staff. I agree, that as we grow together and experience new dimensions of leadership, trust and transparency are vital to our mission. We would like to hear any additional feedback you may have and discuss areas of improvement. Please email us at recruiting@tnc.org.

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.
