Best onboarding experience ever

Pros

Everyone is really nice and supportive. Organization is in the middle of a transformation so there’s a lot of exciting opportunities to help increase its impact on the world by modernizing it’s work and products. I am new to the organization and I’ve been very impressed with the care they take to be transparent about the strengths and challenges of the organization and it’s current transformation. Their approach to assimilation for a leader is by far the best experience I’ve ever had in my career in turns of helping me get to know the organization and it’s people.

Cons

This organization is not to be judged by the cover. In many ways, it feels like a 120 year old nonprofit organization. In many more ways it feels like a 120 year old start up. You cannot come in an expect everything to be figured out because we are trying to reimagine it all. So if you’re looking for a large well established feel then this will surprise you.

Pros

There are a lot of great people working at the NFPA. If you join the team you will have an opportunity to have a positive impact on a 122 year old organization that has a noble purpose.

Cons

Change is hard for any organization. That is especially true for a very old not for profit. Bring your energy AND your persistence

Pros

Great people at NFPA that really care about the mission of the organization and eachother. Many people have been with NFPA for a very long time.

Cons

Smaller company does not allow for much growth opportunity despite the aging work population. Power is very coveted and taking an interest in managers work can be perceived as a threat.
