Pros
Some benefits are decent for the nonprofit sector but not exceptional. The union is a good space for non-management staff, and is made up of some kind and smart people. Remote work environment.
Cons
The many cons include: -Upper managers are unskilled in the content area (only one VP/Chief has elections/civic tech experience); -Lack of clarity and direction from upper management on the mission/vision; -Lack of cohesiveness across teams; -No room for growth for employees & no interest in retention (probably over half of all employees left DW in 2021/2022); -Hostile work environment for anyone with an open association to the union; -Very obvious favoritism and personal bias by upper management; -Unrealistic expectation of workload per person; Those are all in addition to significant racist, sexist, and anti-union tones in the org culture modeled by upper management.
