Passionate and brilliant women on staff and in advocacy networks, high pay for a nonprofit

Problematic management - the org is feminist in its outward facing politics, but doesn't live up to ethical feminist leadership internally

Pros

High standards and a commitment to excellence. Smart, hard-working employees. Deep dedication and respect for their grantees. Some professional advancement and opportunities. Collaborative and collegial environment. Good work/life balance. Good benefits. CEO is good, as are select managers.

Cons

While much work has been done, still some areas of improvement, especially internally, regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. Professional advancement and opportunities could be improved for staff who are senior, but not in manager roles. Need to focus more on employee retention. Compensation is good but could be improved for those at lowest end of salary spectrum. A couple of managers are mediocre

Pros

Some employees have great opportunities. Most staff are smart, dedicated, and dynamic. Organization is very mission-driven.

Cons

Very little diversity. Leadership perpetuates atmosphere of intimidation and judgement with little recognition or encouragement for your work. Family leave and comp time are well below other human rights organizations. 7 staff have left within a year (1 let go). CEO has been Francoise Girard since 2012, not Adrienne Germaine.
