TNC is not what it used to be...

Pros

Great mission. Science staff are very smart and fun to work with. Feeling like your work, no matter how tedious is helping to make the world a better place. There are still good programs and departments to work for and possibly even some great chapters left. However, this was not my experience.

Cons

Leadership at the Chapter level is non existent. Favoritism. Nepotism. Flexible schedule and work from home perks are not consistent within and across departments. Disproportionate workload among rank and file staff. Philanthropy department leadership is particularly incompetent and dysfunctional. Zero reward for hardworking employees except for more work. Bad employees are not managed or reprimanded. There has been a major talent exodus in the CA Philanthropy Dept. with the best staff moving on to global programs or leaving the organization.

Pros

The mission and the people (outside of senior leadership).

Cons

No work-life balance, uneven distribution of flexible work schedule benefits inside and across departments, management does not care about employees and treats employees like we are replaceable. Bad employees are not managed. Good employees are not rewarded.
