Pros

I have been working at the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) for over a year now. I enjoy working with the MRC team as well as the work that I get to do on a day-to-day basis. MRC management provides a great environment to use my current skills, and they also give me the opportunity to learn new skills that will help the organization. The benefits are also a plus, with vacation and sick time being very generous.

Cons

It is a fully remote environment which isn’t for everyone, but management has helped to offset that by bringing the team together at a yearly offsite and allowing work at co-work spaces.

Pros

Working at MRC gives the opportunity to do interesting work at a non-profit with a real sense of purpose. It's fully remote, with team face-to-face time happening at the events MRC runs (depending on your role) and at an annual staff retreat - so staff have great flexibility while still retaining a good team culture. It's faced-paced during busy periods and we cram in a lot of activity, but the company strongly encourages everyone to take time off, allows people to manage their own days to fit work around personal commitments, and has an extra Christmas/holidays shut-down for the whole company that gave an additional 6 days off on top of the public holidays. Great leadership who are real experts in the industry and care about their staff. There are regular internal promotions, good benefits, pension contributions, and a generous annual bonus. All in all, it's a great place to work and I really enjoy being part of an organisation that is truly valued by the industry at large.

Cons

The company experiences some of the typical growing pains of smaller companies in the process of expanding into new geos and adding new initiatives. As a non-profit, budgets can be tight.
