      Pros

      Pretty much uniformly, everybody's bottom line at TNC is doing good conservation work, not money or ego or internal politics. That makes it a great place to work and ensures that the time and effort you put in as an individual will be magnified through the teams you intersect with.

      Cons

      Work:life balance can be an issue. Upper management is aware of this and trying to do something about it. So it's not because a huge workload is necessarily expected of everybody. Instead, it's because TNC is a group of people who can't say no... folks are so mission-driven that they take on too much. Formalized prioritization of goals/objectives/work is needed (from org-wide, which is happening, to the individual level, which still needs to happen), with an expectation of offloading work that is lower priority. Much easier said than done!

      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.
