Pros

The people who actually do the work are fantastic

Cons

The upper management + ELT need a serious reality check to get with the times. They are not paying people enough or giving them the flexibility they need to be remote - so of course people are leaving and jobs aren’t being filled. Then instead of showing the people who stay respect, they kick them while they’re down. More work, no acknowledgement, and vindictive managers. On top of that, employees are actively dissuaded from using their benefits (the “flex” pto is a joke) when they already don’t get paid enough. This place allows toxic leadership to thrive and pull their direct reports down to get ahead. The CEO openly disparages entire teams and departments and shows clear favoritism to people that don’t know basic communication skills. The HR department is a joke, with the one HR person being incredibly rude and disrespectful if you’re not on her good side. The rest of the upper management are tone deaf and don’t advocate for their employees. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that the company’s culture and outlook are failing fast because the CEO and select upper management are too busy trying to make themselves look good instead of actively trying to fix the problems that they have caused.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance. Great support from the leadership team. Willing to be flexible and make changes when needed to advance the mission.

Cons

We're new to fundraising and building the program...culture shift for the overall staff (large) will take time.

Pros

Sometimes you get free food in the office

Cons

I have to imagine the people that think this company has good work life balance are just completely blind as to what real flexibility is. NCCER offers fake flexibility in the summer in the form of fake “summer hours.” You will get a stern email that makes it clear you that if you do not somehow make up the two hours that they will “let” you leave early on Fridays for 6 weeks in July and August that you are stealing from the company. Never mind that everyone is scheduled for nine hours a day and it is extremely frowned upon if you actually take a lunch. The CEO is the most racist, misogynistic, dumbest person you will ever meet in your life. Other members of the ELT are no better. They will never take any sort of feedback so it’s best anyone with any kind of talent runs far away.
