Pros

Colleagues are top-notch, the work is personally satisfying and inspirational, the mission is noble and gratifying (to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends).

Cons

It is a highly decentralized organization, and reorganizations in the various operating units happens frequently. Because of the decentralization, there is no strategy for keeping long standing, highly qualified and successful employees (for example, by simply moving them to another operating unit). Therefore, many terrific people leave the organization, often times to return years later (which speaks highly to working at the Conservancy).

Good employer, but access to all the opportunities depends on your manager

Pros

Great benefits, superb professional development, very smart colleagues, great place to learn specific skills (eg fundraising), great name (ie company reputation) that can help your career

Cons

Access to professional development is entirely dependent on your manager, can be very bureaucratic, mission alignment with so many people working in different places is hard so sometimes it's hard to know what your efforts are accomplishing

Cons

Low pay difficult to advance based on so many overqualified people working lower-level jobs just to get in the door
