Pros

SHRM is a great place to work if you’re smart, collaborative, aligned with the mission and like to move fast. There’s tons of opportunities to grow your skills and experience. The people I work with are some of the best I’ve ever worked with — that was not always the case, but the level of talent increases year over year. It’s not for everyone and I think that’s the best part about it. There’s no room for complacency and status quo. The benefits are terrific, lots of support for professional development, and you can’t beat the hybrid work schedule. In December, we work remotely though mid-January. Johnny is a firm, but wise leader. He’s very clear about his expectations and commitment to SHRM’s mission, employees members, and other stakeholders.

Cons

There really aren’t any cons, except there are some managers who don’t hold people accountable or aren’t clear about expectations. This can be frustrating for those high performers who put in the work and are dedicated to SHRM’s and the team’s success.

Pros

- The work matters. Knowing we are on the front lines of making workplaces for all employees better is a fascinating and cool place to be. - The people and culture are strong and fun to work with. I have a great time coming to work. - Smart, transparent leadership. The executive team is thoughtful, intelligent, and really cares about the staff. - Excellent Benefits. Healthcare, open leave, pension, 401k, tuition remission, student loan support, etc. etc. - Hybrid work schedule: T-Th in office, with M/F remote, which allows you to catch flights, book doctor, walk kids to school, and much more

Cons

- Hardworking. SHRM moves fast and does not function at the speed of other non-profits. - Being the trusted source for all things work, means a lot of responsibility. So there is not much down time and workplaces/employees are counting on us to get it right.
