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.

Pros

The work is ultimately good, and there are some wonderful people on staff.

Cons

There were serious DEI issues during my time there, which drove me and others out of the org, but leadership has changed since and some worst offenders were pushed out so I'm not sure where it stands now.

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.
