Pros

AWESOME PEOPLE, AWESOME JOB, AWESOME CAUSE. Great place to learn, train, contribute, and educate yourself. I'd give them a rating of 10 if I could!

Cons

There are no cons in working for a company which puts people and the environment first. There is not a single thing negative to say.

Nonprofit cares about the world, but not at the expense of its staff

Pros

This organization is the first I've ever worked for that truly turns its vision of a better world inward, and treats its employees well. The CEO is even leading a national thought leadership campaign on how to have a more inclusive (read: racial, educational, ethnic and gender diversity) workplace, and have GRID be the best place for a woman (and therefore everyone) can have a career.

Cons

We aren't the best paid folks, as a nonprofit, but truly the 5 weeks paid time off, holidays and paid medical benefits, and professional development dollars help. The worst thing is, that when your job is also your passion, its easy to overwork.
