Pros

Our work is highly rewarding and provides a unique glimpse into different industries. We interact with numerous nonprofit loan officers, practitioners, credit bureau professionals, and financial experts, all of whom teach us as we teach them. Other perks include conference travel and being in a great part of town with food trucks and buses/metro stops right around the corner.

Cons

As a small nonprofit there is really no room for advancement, associate salaries are low for the amount of education and technical skills we possess, and the work load is demanding. Previous leadership and staff changes hurt our capacity and funding, now we're playing catch up while pushing ahead new projects. We are also expected to teach leadership the ropes, but they have not offered much knowledge share with us.

Pros

-This company checks a lot of the toxic non-profit blsht at the door. Work/life balance is encouraged and "meaningful work" isn't weaponized against staff. When things do become stressful, the energy remains supportive and calm. -Staff diversity speaks to the company's values -Newer senior leadership has strong direction, and has made a lot of improvement from former executives

Cons

-Everyone is slightly underpaid -Management can be disorganized at times -Policies surrounding work hours such as PTO, flex time, work-day hours, and in-office attendance are outdates and could be more flexible (but a "close-your-laptop" culture is ultimately a fair tradeoff, in my opinion)

Pros

I know that former reviews are not great we've had a new CEO for a while and have a wonderful HR Rep and COO who look out for the wellbeing of employees. Salaries are competitive, Great human-centered employee resources and systems in place to help employees thrive. I have not experienced micromanagement. Company culture is that as long as you do your work and attend your meetings, you have wonderful flexibility. Summer hours, good PTO, 1-2 flex hours a week, professional development dollars allocated to employees every year to keep up certifications and take courses to enhance their skills, great health benefits for the family, staff retreats and employee loan programs. Widespread reach nationally (600+ members) in the area of financial capability in credit building. Financially sound and stable company. Staff meetings every other week where company goals, values, and even organization finances are discussed and presented so everyone knows where the company stands financially and with it's members. Slack channels make an attempt to bring everyone together for discussions not having to do with work which is nice (pets, travel ect.)

Cons

Due to remote/hybrid environment, lots of independent work and some departments work in silos. Sometimes you can feel disconnected from your co-workers in other departments.
