      Pros

      Great benefits and time off Laid back atmosphere

      Cons

      This organization is great if you are a recent college graduate, or you are looking for your first job however, senior management is very poor, aloof and disconnected. Extremely difficult to gain ownership over your work. There was no CFO hired for over a year. Poor judgement in hiring for senior level positions. Very little value placed on the Assistant and Coordinator level positions.

      Pros

      Laid back organization with dedication to quality services to clients. Flexible job Invests in internal systems to make processes more efficient

      Cons

      - Low salary compared to the competitors - Not really a non-profit because the entire focus is to make money by selling services - Favoritism is on its peak in this organization. Only favorite employees get new opportunities or promotions - Unsatisfied employees all across the board in the organization - No opportunities to advance unless you are one of the favorites - Poor management

      Pros

      Impressive track record of innovative solutions to thorny environmental problems and good work in the field; nice benefits

      Cons

      In financial distress; significant layoffs for second year in a row (10+% of staff each year); weak leadership; outsized overheads; systemic budget issues ignored by Board year after year; new President spends most of his time jetting around globe--talks vision and tweets but no management apparent; no CF0 for over a year; budgeting by magical thinking and bullying.
