      Pros

      Fully remote work. The pay is ok if you negotiate well at the beginning.

      Cons

      Toxic work environment. Lacks employee diversity at senior levels, no diversity in executive leadership team. Unable to retain qualified Black professionals especially for programs targeting Black community. Disorganized and lacks strategy in vital public health programming. Executive leadership has no health or public health education or experience.

      Real fundraisers would never work here

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They overpay for unqualified staff and hire their friends into leadership roles.

      Cons

      The culture is toxic and very little money raised actually supports people with breast cancer. The organization is a pyramid scam that tricks people into registering for their “Races”. If participants knew how much money was wasted by unqualified staff they would never support Komen again. Leadership and advancement is based on cronyism and anyone with fundraising skill moves on pretty quick. Embarrassing to have Komen on a resume

      Great mission and opportunities to build the future

      Pros

      There is a LOT going on at Komen and lots of professional opportunities. The mission is three-fold: research, public health and public policy - this is not a one trick pony organization. Komen is moving toward providing services directly to patients rather than through grantmaking, which is a huge change to the business model, and offers opportunities for staff to actually build this new program and craft the future of the organization. Many team members have a personal connection to the cause, which helps keep mission front and center. It's gratifying to see firsthand how the work helps patients first, but also pushes science forward. Lots of flexibility - the entire organization is now work-from-home and accommodates all of the challenges we have with COVID-19, like dealing with kids and spouses at home and working among some chaos. The benefits are awesome, and include really, really good health insurance (so important right now).

      Cons

      It can be a very fast pace environment, and working from home is not for everyone. There are no plans to go back to an office and many of the in-person events can't happen, so that community feeling is tough right now. Like everyone else, I'm all Zoom-ed out.
