Pros
TNC's benefits are wonderful. You can tell the organization cares about its people from the generous benefits provided. The organization is a learning organization, which allows TNC to be flexible and also grow positively. TNC also supports employee growth and development, which has been a great change from previous employers. Leadership is always willing to listen to employees. The compensation strategy of the organization is fair and equitable. Working in the U.S., the typical hours here are 35 hours (note: some positions require more or less hours). The collaborative nature of TNC allows employees to work with and learn from colleagues around the world, as well as people from the communities that we work in. This enables TNC to make a difference with a deeper understanding of how people and nature thrive. I appreciate the DEIJ focus that TNC now has.
Cons
With such a large and matrixed global organization, it can be difficult to have a one-size fits all approach to certain things like SOPs or policies. Because the work that we do is so important, it can be difficult sometimes to not be worried about our impact outside of work. This can cause burnout. Having the additional personal leave days has been wonderful, but only if employees are willing to utilize them. This is the same for the flexible work arrangements.
