      Director of banking policy

      Pros

      It was motivating to be part of the Better Markets mission of serving the public interest in banking and financial markets, especially because they have the most influential voice among public advocacy organizations in this space. That clearly was because of their hardworking staff and subject matter experts, one of which I was happy to be for nearly two years. I was able to learn every day from the subject matter experts, other staff, and the CEO about numerous financial regulatory issues and policies as well as what makes effective advocacy. The breadth of issues I was able to cover and opportunities to shape the public dialogue kept me engaged and motivated. If you care about the public interest in the financial industry, this is a great place to work.

      Cons

      The breadth of issues can be challenging at times, but as I said it is motivating and kept me engaged.

      Pros

      Great workers with lots of embodied knowledge

      Cons

      The nonprofit's entire mission and work is entirely compromised by the unnecessarily toxic, authoritarian structure, domineered by a paranoid CEO Fake Glassdoor reviews written in the CEO's voice A quick way to waste time and lose out on other opportunities They almost fired a new employee for taking *days* of paternity leave, ended up firing him several months later. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs.

      We take all feedback seriously, but this did not happen. We have never had anyone on staff in a situation like the one described. In fact, we have one Research Associate, and he has been with us for more than four years. Not only has no one been denied/discouraged from taking paternity leave, but many staff members have fully availed themselves of this benefit over the years, which we made more generous this past year. Better Markets is committed to progressive employee policies, including generous sick leave and fully supported paternity and family leave. Rather than making life decisions like employment based on anonymous attacks, we would encourage any prospective employee to review our benefits and speak directly with our team members (who average five years of tenure) to learn more about our mission-driven organization and workplace.
