      Pros

      Incredible mission and global conservation priorities; experience to work with smart and amazing people around the globe; respected organization - can be proud to work there. The organization is working to create a better culture. Not seeing that at chapter level. Many opportunities for growth, but oftentimes you will need to be willing to move. Great benefits.

      Cons

      Difficult leadership structure, churn and burn in many places, constant changes in organizational priorities and structure - causes confusion, frustration and creates culture of distrust. Management in chapters is inconsistent and accountability for upholding organizational values is oftentimes overlooked. Culture in some chapters is toxic. Too many really talented and successful professionals have been pushed out or left because they couldn't take it anymore.

      Pros

      Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

      Cons

      The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
