Pros

Pays well, lots of extra benefits. Office are located right above Embarcadero station, easy commute, do your grocery shopping at the Ferry Building every day.

Cons

A good way grasp what it's like to work at Credo is to keep in mind that neither of the two “founders” actually founded the company. It was founded by Peter Barnes, who hired the two of them. After a few years they ousted him in a boardroom coup, blaming him for various shortcomings. Then, they started taking credit as the “founders” of the company.Taking credit for the ideas of others, and blaming others for their own bad ideas, is the modus operandi of the two people who today claim they “founded” Credo. That helps explain the strange management culture, the emotionally damaged employees, the cliques, the constantly shifting favoritism, and the toxic office politics that other ex-employees have commented on in their reviews.

Pros

There will be so many challenges over the next four years that the progressive movement is going to need to be in an "all hands on deck" mode. CREDO has been a critically important funder, champion and amplifier of civil rights, social justice, women's rights and so many other causes. You will be surrounded by many colleagues that believe in this fight and even a few that have helped shape it.

Cons

But this isn't the same CREDO it was a decade ago. Many of us had hoped our new CEO would help revive the product that funds most of our work, address some of the toxic aspects of our culture that had been allowed to flourish, stop the brain drain and refocus our efforts. Instead the executive team is more insular than ever, dismisses opinions that differ from their own and makes decisions that are against everything we stand for. Instead of things getting better, since his arrival we have gotten into bed with a union-busting business partner. We have reduced the amount we give to progressive not-for-profits by tens of thousands of dollars every month. We turned our focus away from the important causes on the ballot across the country and we have spent lavishly on things that we could have gone without. Instead of fixing any of these problems our new CEO is here responding to current and former employees with Michelle Obama quotes that were originally aimed at Donald Trump. That is how he sees and treats dissent. It is terrifying how out of touch we have become.

While we agree with the Pros, we’d add that we believe in our powerful, united voice for progressive change. We also have incredible benefits, competitive pay and a great work environment. The truth is that we have been making fundamental changes to our business; a new network, new systems, processes and people. Change is hard, and it is certainly more difficult for some than others. We have had employees leave, and we’ve had incredibly talented and capable new team members join. As we progress through our change, some team members are uncomfortable in this new environment. If you’re considering a position with CREDO, you’ll find a smart, motivated team looking for more progressive-minded, smart and friendly people to join us.

Pros

Almost everyone joined to work to make the world a better place. You have some great colleagues to work with.

Cons

But of the fifteen people hired over the past year, more than ten of them have quit or been fired. The environment has become toxic and our new CEO is arrogant (not a team player).
