Pros

The staff is full of great, dedicated people that come to work every day because they're passionate about the cause and the environmental movement as a whole. Their efforts are wasted however, due to neurotic and incompetent leadership.

Cons

I'll preface this by saying that on paper, this was my dream job. In reality it was an absolute struggle to remain in this position for 6 months. I ignored the negative comments on Galssdoor because this seemed like the job I'd been working toward. I also ignored the numerous red flags throughout the interview process. I am trying my best to remain professional while writing this. That is difficult, because the president and vice president of this organization are condescending and unstable; they cultivate a cruel and nonsensical working environment on a daily basis. You are never given direction. You will be a scapegoat frequently. You will be be demeaned, belittled, and criticized. There is no strategic plan. There is no organization. There are no achievable outcomes. The board is ignorant and uninvolved. There are dubious work practices, bordering on the illegal. If there's a published Earth Day event somewhere in the world, EDN claims it as their own. That's their justification for declaring 50,000 partners in nearly 195 countries. Did you know there's an organization that is "in-charge" of Earth Day? No one does, and there's a reason. You will regret taking this job.

Pros

The program staff (directors and managers) are great people and they come to Earth Day Network hoping to make a difference.

Cons

This organization is a complete mess. While it has been floundering for a number of years - very high staff turnover, very low retention rate of donors - now the wheels seem to be coming entirely off. Do NOT be fooled when they speak in the present tense about their work and projects; it's simply not true - they have almost no projects underway as they have continued to lose funders and partners. Leadership does not know how to manage (people, time or resources); how to create, follow or execute a strategic plan; how to fundraise, etc. Staff are left floundering as priorities change daily and there's no clear direction.
