Pros

Haven’t been with the company too, too long but I’ve already racked up a solid list of things I like about working here: My coworkers are fantastic. They’re the kind of people who will give you the shirts off their backs if you just ask. Management is no-nonsense, but they’re friendly and, at the end of the day, they care which is really all that matters. I think I’m being paid more than a fair amount, especially considering what’s expected of me on a daily and weekly basis. It didn’t take me long at all to find my groove and I also found a pretty healthy work/life balance almost immediately. The office environment is very welcoming and friendly to new-comers. It’s not at all clique-ish and there’s never any issues with drama or gossip.

Cons

I don’t have nearly as long a list of things I don’t like about working here, but I also want to be fair and honest so I’ll include what I think could be worked on: I haven’t had much interaction with anyone in a senior management position. There doesn’t seem to be much opportunity to advance and grow within your career while staying with the company which is unfortunate because I really like it here. Hopefully things change, but if not I’m going to have to look outside VP for my next career move.

Pros

For prospective employees, I’m not sure there are any pros at the moment. It used to be a great place to work/learn and meet really driven and talented colleagues. At my time of leaving, morale was so low I’m not sure someone new would find any benefit.

Cons

For a nonprofit, they’ve strayed far from being mission-driven and are now entirely focused on PR hits rather than actually creating meaningful campaigns that generate tourism interest. Employees aren’t trusted in their respective fields and are instead expected to go through leaps and bounds to make a select group of the least hard-working individuals at the organization seem like they’re the ones worthy of praise. Decisions come at the last minute and disrupt any progress one could make at standardizing their responsibilities. I spent a good chunk of my last year there envisioning how great of a place it would be to work if the board saw through the hollow leadership, cleaned house at the executive level, and started fresh. It is truly a free for all for those that make the big bucks and everyone else has to follow suit, no matter how much sanity or integrity you lose along the way. While Visit Philly may still have a positive external reputation, these reviews make it clear it’s only a matter of time before the dam breaks and the hard work of the many individuals who laid the foundation (and tried to salvage the organization) will be overtaken by the failures of those select few.
