Pros

Solid mission, decent benefits, and a good dental plan

Cons

Compassion & Choices has taken a turn for the worse. Despite being a medium sized organization the CEO has loaded up her executive office with expensive positions and gives preference for friends in her hiring. The CEO often hires and promotes managers who are extremely volatile, and don’t do much besides manage managers. At a recent staff retreat, a session was on "Promoting Your CEO." A lot of the glowing positive reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. The CEO put pressure on employees to write them.

Pros

Amazing mission Dedicated and talented staff Great benefits and work/life balance This organization has outgrown its small-nonprofit roots into a big national force to be reckoned with and some more experienced employees have been grumpy and had trouble adjusting to not being able to just walk into a CEO's office anytime they want. As a result some have left and some have been laid off resulting in a much more pleasant and supportive place to work.

Cons

It's a job so just like anywhere else it's not perfect, and it's what you make of it. If you think you're just going to "retire in place" and run out the clock on your career while making a really good salary this place isn't for you.

Pros

Great Mission, very hard working colleagues

Cons

This organization does not always align its practices with its stated values. They have a pattern of laying off senior employees in favor of younger hires, which has impacted diversity. Additionally, employees are sometimes cut off from systems abruptly, and there appears to be a tendency to protect underperforming staff rather than address issues transparently.
