Pros

Amazing colleagues, great mission. Strong values and ethics and passion from list staff for the mission. You’ll love the people working on the ground in place-based work. TNC has such a solid donor base in the 70+ age group that legacy gifts alone will carry them for the next 10 years.

Cons

Exec leadership is toxic, narcissistic and juvenile. It’s so large and bureaucratic that internally it moves a bit like the dinosaur it’s seen as in the enviro sector.

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.
