The Nature Conservancy reviews

Moving up in the business seem obsolete. Management need direction in managing. Many staff have been promoted to manager, but are not sure how to really manage. There is one manager that needs help, she doesn't know how to handle issues when they come up, she lets it hit the ceiling and get upset. But then, it is quickly resolved within minutes. This has caused very stressful environment, but upper management pretend not to see it.

There can be a disconnect between the state chapters and the organization headquarters; communications are sometimes lacking; growth opportunities at the state level are also lacking, especially for low to mid-level professionals (basically due to lack of growth overall) and it can be difficult to break into the employment ops at headquarters; occasional layoffs still happening due to slow return from recession; not a place for people who do not like change--priorities and messaging change often; like most nonprofits, salaries are lower and merit increases and raises can be hard to achieve; should be more of an effort to "walk the green talk"
