Pros

Better than average pay, some flexibility to work from home, opportunities to advance your learning in unexpected ways, often travel, the work feels meaningful.

Cons

Very little leadership around our mission and fundraising. Planning happens weeks out from something, very disorganized and constant chaos. Often times people, especially managers, are only promoted based on arbitrary reasons not based on skill levels. Lots of time spent on internal processes that go nowhere versus actually doing "the work". People of color, working moms, LGBT folks, and folks with disabilities will experience lots of bad comments, probably won't be listened to, and will be accused of being too sensitive. Expect lots of double speak...for example, there is an internal document that respects Indigenous People's rights, but it's rarely used.

Pros

It was wonderful! The people were friendly and open-minded. I enjoyed going to different places like Buffalo, NY and Ithaca, NY. I loved being able to do my small part to make a difference on this planet. I'm passionate about the environment.

Cons

Not paid enough, and I didn't get to acquire any computer skills.
