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

Good benefits, decent salary, amazing supporters, important mission

Cons

Since our former CEO, Kim, left we have fallen apart, The chiefs lack strategy and compassion, there have been 4 terminations, 6 layoffs, pointless program eliminations and countless broken promises. Communications is poor, transparency is lacking, finger pointing is high, Two people.have already voluntarily resigned and many of us have resumes on the street, Every day is worse than the day before, The Chief People and Culture Officer is the worst I have ever seen, No compassion, no empathy, no follow through, not a good fit for an organization with.compassion in its name, most of the c-team is out of touch with our supporters, making decisions without considering their ramifications,
