      All talk, no action on DEIJ

      Advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In a lot of ways, this is a nice place to work. Generally nice people.

      Cons

      TNC simply refuses to take action on DEIJ. It's all talk. If you're a person of color, your chances of success here are limited. In the work, TNC's white dominant culture shines through, and they impose a very top-down, savior mindset.

      Approach with Caution

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some good people, some not so. Honorable cause. Benefits are better than most places.

      Cons

      They speak a big game, but are a mess internally. Organization is trying to rebuild by running lean after laying off so many during the early pandemic. This translates to people doing the job of three to four people. Micromanagement beyond belief. No real opportunities to get to really know your team or coworkers. They claim a good work/life balance, but it's all talk. Depending on what division you work in, there are unrealistic expectations. There is obvious favoritism and clicks within the organization. Not to mention, it can be your fault if someone else does not do their part. Left me questioning certain ethical standards. Managers could benefit from diversity, empathy and leadership training, that is actually implemented.
