Rainforest Alliance reviews

Alas the cons very much outweigh the pros. Senior management is incompetent and highly political. There is some intense infighting at the top which trickles down in the worst way. Basically in the Summer of 2015 the entire senior management of F&A quit following the departure of the CFO in the Spring. There is supposed to be new blood coming in, but there are stalwarts there that have an axe to grind and are likely to grind it. Do not expect to be able to climb the ranks, only a few have done so. I would recommend waiting until the dust settles and a new President is in place. There are much needed changes in how the organization operates and their business model, and those I do hope are forthcoming.

Some poor management, especially on development, finance, HR and communications teams. Some staff were not particularly motivated. HR staff not very accessible or good at their jobs. Some disconnect between mission and day-to-day work in New York office.
